Flyers Talk: Post-Holiday Struggles, Zamula, the Road Ahead

The Flyers returned from the holiday break and have hit a bump in the road on their Cinderella story. Three straight losses to close a four-game road trip, as well as losses in five of the last six games, have led to them falling in the standings from second to fourth in the Metropolitan Division.

On this week's episode of Flyers Talk with 97.3 ESPN Flyers Insider Kevin Durso, Brianna Barretta and Kevin sit down to talk about the road trip and what the Flyers have gone through to experience this recent struggle.

The Flyers were definitely on their heels more in the final three games on the road trip and got away from the foundation of what made them so successful throughout the first half of the season. What has been the difference from then to now in the recent results?

Egor Zamula has started to chip in more offensively and is starting to build some consistency. What kind of role can the young Flyers defenseman have going forward?

The Flyers are now headed home for a four-game homestand after splitting the break with the last five games on the road. How important are these next two games?

Finally, we look ahead to the team's next game on Thursday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets. What's the key to success against the Blue Jackets and how should the Flyers approach this game?
