Joel Quenneville

The next major change has apparently. Following a dismal road trip that included losses in the final four games, the Flyers will fire Dave Hakstol as head coach and hire Joel Quenneville, according to a report from Dave Isaac of the Courier Post.

The Flyers have their new GM in place. The team officially announced the hiring of Chuck Fletcher on Tuesday as the eighth general manager in franchise history.

Speculation was that Dave Hakstol would exit as Flyers head coach before Ron Hextall lost his job as GM. With a new GM search underway, it would seem the coaching staff has numbered days.

The top line took care of the offense, with Sean Couturier scoring twice and Claude Giroux scoring a goal and adding two assists, and Brian Elliott had his best game in net this season. That led the Flyers to a third straight win and fifth in the last six games, continuing their recent surge.

The Flyers built a 3-0 lead and got some strong play from their goaltender to round out a 3-1 win over the Blackhawks, returning from a four-day break in strong fashion. Here is the Postgame Review.
