The Flyers had a tough stretch of games as they faced Toronto and Boston at home before going on the road to face the Black Hawks and Red Wings.
10/28: TOR 3, PHI 1; Goals- TOR: Poile (11), Klukay (1), Ezinicki (5); PHI: Burlington (25); A- 7,777
The Flyers scored the opener, with the incredible Tom Burlington scoring his 25th goal, but they allowed three straight to end the game and earn a tough home loss.
10/30: BOS 3, PHI 2; Goals- BOS: Opsahl (1), Smith (2), Crawford (5); PHI: Rittinger (4), Bauer (12); A- 6,585
Philly again got the opener but allowed two third-period goals to lose for the 2nd straight game.
11/3: PHI 8, CHI 1; Goals- PHI: Bauer 3 (15), Schmidt 2 (4), Smith (20), Burlington (26), Halder (4); CHI: Michaluk (1); A- 15,210
An incredible shooting exhibition for the Flyers, scoring eight goals on just 27 shots, seven in the first two periods. Bobby Bauer completed a hat trick in just two periods.
11/4: PHI 7, DET 7; Goals- PHI: Smith (21), Schmidt 2 (6), Kyle (5), Gallagher (1), Rittinger (5), Burlington (27); DET: Morrison (4), Kelly (3), Howe (11), Horeck 3 (6), Lindsay (2); A- 13,429
In a wonderful offensive explosion, the game was tied 3-3 after one period, then Philly was up 2 after the second, but Detroit came back with 3 straight to take a 7-6 lead before Tom Burlington tied the game with 10:35 to play. Nothing else happened after that.
