There always is a darkness before dawn, and it’s getting pretty dark now for the Flyers. On Sunday the Orange and Black lost 3-1 to the New Jersey Devils. It is their fourth straight loss, in which they have been outscored,

PHILADELPHIA, PA - The newest Devils acquistions made an impact on Sunday afternoon against the Flyers. Cody Glass picked up a goal and was +2. Daniel Sprong had a +1 rating with three shots on goal as New Jersey held on for a 3-1 win. Erik Haula and Dawson Mercer scored the other Devils goals.

The loss to Seattle wasn’t for a lack of effort. The Flyers were all over the offensive zone for large stretches of the game, cycling the puck well, creating high-danger chances, and generally doing everything except putting the puck in the net. It was one of those nights where it seemed like no matter what they did, nothing went in.

Glass snapped a shot over Flyers’ goalie Ivan Fedotov’s right shoulder between traffic for the first goal of the game at 11:10 in the first period. The Devils traded for Glass on Friday needing more offense from their bottom-six, especially centers.

Dawson Mercer hit the post at 4:29 of the second as he ripped a shot from the deep slot. New Jersey extended the lead to 2-0 at 5:39 as Erik Haula (5th) scored from the right circle. A Brenden Dillon point shot was blocked down before Johnathan Kovacevic passed to an oncoming Haula.

Cody Glass scored a goal in his first game with the New Jersey Devils and helped his new team defeat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-1 on Sunday.

Though Sunday’s game between the New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia Flyers took place in the City of Brotherly Love, many visiting fans made the 90-120 minute drive up the Jersey Turnpike in hopes of making their presence known.
