Mackenzie Blackwood made 24 saves for his second straight shutout, Nathan MacKinnon scored to extend his NHL points lead and the Colorado Avalanche beat Philadelphia 2-0 on Sunday push the Flyers' scoreless streak to just over three games.

Danny Briere said the Flyers weren’t giving up on the season and John Tortorella would never have such a mindset. But, boy, this felt like a telling loss. The Flyers resembled an injured, rebuilding team trying to piece things together three days after making a trade for the future.

Colorado's Mackenzie Blackwood stopped all 24 Flyers shots to earn the shutout. Sam Ersson made 30 saves on 32 shots and took the loss.
