To make matters worse, coach John Tortorella and rookie winger Matvei Michkov had a major falling out on the bench during Thursday's loss to the Islanders. Midway through the second period, just after New York opened the scoring, Tortorella could be seen chewing out Michkov for leaving the defensive zone early, which enabled the Islanders to score.
In what ended up as a 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders, the major talking point was a heated exchange between the pair midway through the second period.
Ilya Sorokin made 23 saves for his third shutout of the season, Marc Gatcomb scored his first NHL goal and the New York Islanders won their sixth straight game with a 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night.
NEWARK, N.J. — In the Flyers' first meeting with the Devils a week and a half ago, John Tortorella felt Matvei Michkov was becoming a little too careless with the puck. It was a tight, defensive, 1-1 game in the second period.
Philadelphia Flyers coach John Tortorella shared his thoughts about a heated exchange with rookie Matvei Michkov during the Flyers' game against the NY Islanders on Thursday.
The Flyers made a late-night shakeup, reaching a deal with the Flames that sent longtime faces Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost to Calgary. In return, the Flyers are getting wingers Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier, a second-round draft pick this summer and a seventh-round draft pick in 2028.
The Calgary Flames traded Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier and draft picks to the Philadelphia Flyers for Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee.
The Flyers hoped both Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost would become major pieces to their future. After all, Farabee had 20 goals in his second career season in a shortened campaign. Frost posted back-to-back 40+ point seasons before this year. These are players who can produce at a high level.
There were plenty of developments Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Center as the Flyers lost to the Islanders, 3-0.
