Preview

The Flyers let go of Hextall, the team’s former star goaltender, after four-plus seasons with him as their general manager. The squad failed to win a playoff series under his watch.

“We thank Ron for his many significant contributions, but it has become clear that we no longer share the same philosophical approach concerning the direction of the team,” team president Paul Holmgren said in a statement. “In light of these differences, we feel it’s in the organization’s best interest to make a change, effective immediately.”

Philadelphia is 10-11-2, tied with the New Jersey Devils for last place in the Metropolitan Division.

“You have to feel responsible; we’re the ones playing the games,” veteran right winger Jakub Voracek said of the decision, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. “It’s obviously something you don’t want to see, but it’s a business.”

This offseason, Philly signed free agent left winger James van Riemsdyk, who then missed 16 games after suffering an injury in the team’s second contest.

“This is an organization that has very high standards for itself, and when we’re kind of underachieving on the ice, stuff like this can happen,” van Riemsdyk told the Inquirer.

The team’s dropped five of their last six games. On Saturday, the Toronto Maple Leafs destroyed the Flyers in Philly, 6-0. The deficit was 4-0 after the first period.

“I don’t have much to say. We’re ticked off,” Flyers captain Claude Giroux told the Inquirer after the blowout loss. “After a great game at home, we come on the road and play like this. It’s frustrating. Twenty-two points on the season, we’re not where we want to be. Do I think we’re going to make the playoffs? Yeah, I think we’re going to make the playoffs. But we need to start playing better as a team, and it has to start soon.”

The Senators are suffering their own cold streak, having lost four in a row to drop to 9-12-3.

“It’s tough to lose. We’re in the business of winning hockey games and right now we’re struggling. It’s going to bring out some character in all of us,” right winger Mark Stone told the Ottawa Sun after a loss to the New York Rangers on Monday night. The 26-year-old scored both Ottawa goals in the 4-2 defeat.

“If you watch us the last three games it was about as bad as it could get. We made steps in the right direction tonight. You can’t just re-right the ship in one day. Tonight was a step in the right direction.”
