The Philadelphia Flyers were back in action at the Wells Fargo Center, welcoming the Chicago Blackhawks to town with the hopes of getting two points after coming away with one point from their last couple of games, but that would not be the case.

Although Tyson Foerster was able to move up to second place in goals scored by a rookie this season (tying him with the Minnesota Wild's Marco Rossi), his goal wasn't enough to carry the Flyers past the Blackhawks in what head coach John Tortorella called " a good old-fashioned drubbing."
Lukas Reichel opened up the scoring, getting the puck under Sam Ersson's skate just over two minutes into the game.
Philipp Kurashev then sniped one past Ersson to put the Blackhawks up 2-0.Ty
Tyson Foerster pulled one back for the Flyers, netting his 20th goal of the season, which ties him for second in the standings for goals scored by rookies this season.
Nick Foligno put the Blackhawks back up by two goals, scoring on a powerplay to make it 3-1.
Joey Anderson buried the knife deeper by scoring to make it 4-1 to the Blackhawks.
Mackenzie Entwistle dealt the fatal blow to the Flyers, delivering one more goal to put the visitors up 5-1.
The Flyers will have a rest day before suiting up against the New York Islanders on Apr. 1 at 7:00 p.m. EST.
