The Flyers hit one of their roughest patches of the year coming out of American Thanksgiving heading into December.

11/29: BOS 3, PHI 3; Goals- BOS: Brown (4), Schmidt (6), Dumart (19); PHI: Rittinger (12), Burlington (31), Smith (29); A- 13,240

All 6 goals scored in the final two periods as the Bruins tied the game with 5:10 to play to salvage a point.

12/2: PHI 4, BOS 0; Goals- PHI: Stearns (13), Burlington (32), Dodds (1), Bauer (18); A- 12,661

Flyers got a big victory on this night but goalie Sugar Jim Henry getting hurt ruined the party, as it was found he will be out about 8 weeks with a concussion.

12/3 (TV): DET 6, PHI 3; Goals- DET: Abel 3 (21, PP), Dewsbury (2), Lindsay (5), Bruneteau (9); PHI: Smith (30), Halder (7), Dodds (2); A- 7,168

In a brutal game for new goalie Tom McGrattan, he faced over 100 shots on goal from the Red Wings after only eight in the first period. Philly blew a 2-0 2nd period lead.
