Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:45:04 GMT

There’s been portions of every game during their current slump where the Colorado Avalanche felt good about how they played.That might be true about the effort Saturday night against the Philadelphia Flyers, but the mistakes were more frequent and more damaging. Travis Konecny scored twice, including an insurance goal on a penalty shot midway through the third period, to help propel the Flyers to a 5-2 win against the Avalanche at Ball Arena.That’s also five losses in six games (1-3-2) for the first time this season, though the two extra points for losing after regulation blunt some of the negative impact for the Avs. Still, this wasn’t the response the club was looking for after just an OK showing against Winnipeg in this building two nights prior.Avs coach Jared Bednar continued to tinker with the lineup, both before this contest started and while it was ongoing.
