Daily News | Backed by their fourth line, the Flyers continue to stick together even in tough times
, but there was still one thing the Flyers could control: the way they stuck together.
When it comes to toughness and sticking up for each other, the tone is set by the fourth line. With 6-foot-1 Patrick Brown and Nicolas Deslauriers and 6-foot-3 Zack MacEwen, all of whom weigh in at over 200 pounds, it’s a physically imposing line. “For a while, a few weeks ago, I thought they were inconsistent, but I think they’ve found their game,” Tortorella said. “They’re hunting.”By pulling goalie Carter Hart halfway through Monday’s game, Tortorella kept Hart’s legs fresh for the second game of the back-to-back. Tortorella was adamant that the 6-0 loss wasn’t on Hart, although it went on his record.
Ersson, 23, was called up just before the holiday break when Sandström was sick. He’s played in six games and has posted a 4-0-0 record, a .917 save percentage and one shutout.
