“Shockwaves in Philadelphia: Tortorella Out as Flyers Coach After Tumultuous Season, Shaw Steps In”
Tortorella was in his third season as coach of the Flyers, who lost 7-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday, their sixth straight defeat (0-5-1) and the second straight they gave up at least seven goals following a 7-4 loss at the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.
“It’s my job to prepare this team in this type of situation,” Tortorella said after the loss to Toronto. “Haven’t done a good enough job the past couple games.”
The Flyers play the Montreal Canadiens at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; NBCSP, TSN2, RDS). They’ve lost 11 of 12 (1-10-1), haven’t won in regulation since Feb. 25 and are last in the Metropolitan Division (28-36-9). Among their struggles this season is a power play that is 30th in the NHL (13.7 percent) and an .887 save percentage at 5-on-5 ranked last in the League.
