Flyers shutout in final home game of season vs. Blue Jackets

The Philadelphia Flyers ended their home season on a disappointing note, suffering a 3-0 defeat to the Columbus Blue Jackets. With this loss, the Flyers stayed fifth in the standings for the 2025 NHL Draft. Interim coach Brad Shaw managed a respectable 5-2-1 record in his short tenure. Columbus, needing a win, is now two points behind the Montreal Canadiens in the playoff race. This game saw goaltender Jet Greaves shine for the Blue Jackets, stopping all 29 shots, while Flyers goalie Sam Ersson made 31 saves.

Despite the loss, the Flyers had moments of opportunity, with Tyson Foerster and Matvei Michkov coming close to scoring. The first period showcased a balanced effort from both teams, though Columbus broke through in the second. Dante Fabbro opened the scoring with a screened shot, followed by Kent Johnson's one-timer, putting the Blue Jackets up 2-0. In a frustrating finale, even as the Flyers pressed forward, they couldn't find the net, leaving them with a bittersweet end to the home stretch of the season.

What does the future hold for the Flyers under Brad Shaw?How can the Flyers improve their offensive consistency?What impact will the upcoming draft have on the Flyers' future?How should the Flyers approach free agency this offseason?
