The Philadelphia Flyers faced a disappointing home defeat, falling 4-1 to the Dallas Stars at Wells Fargo Center Thursday night. This loss marked the Flyers' fourth consecutive defeat and their ninth in the last twelve games.
Sam Ersson made his return to the net after a lower-body injury, making some notable saves. However, he conceded three goals from 19 shots, including two in the first period. Mavrik Bourque opened the scoring early, followed by Roope Hintz, who capitalized on a rebound.
Despite a brief resurgence in the third period, led by Morgan Frost's goal, it was not enough to swing the momentum. The Flyers struggled with shots on goal and power play opportunities, ultimately unable to overcome the Stars' offensive pressure.
