I'm Charlie O'Connor with PHLY Sports and PHLY Flyers.

And these are your Flyers post-practice notes from Salt Lake City, Utah.

0:17.1

The Flyers finally got a win on Monday night against the Vegas Golden Knights

0:21.9

in Las Vegas, halting their six-game losing streak and beating one of the best teams in hockey.

ring. He didn't really participate in any serious activities. He mostly just chatted at

1:49.6
