They were able to claw their way back, bringing it to a 4-3 game. Then, with under 5 minutes to go in the game, the Flyers new prospect tied it up. <\/p>\n<p>Jiricek tied the game at four with a power-play goal, his first as a Phantom. <\/p>\n<p>The Phantoms went on to lose 5-4 to the Charlotte Checkers in overtime. Despite the loss, the Flyers new prospect is already making his impact felt.<\/p>\n<p>Jiricek finished the game with 4 shots on goal and a -1 +\/- .<\/p>\n<p>It was the exact kind of game expected from the Flyers new prospect. He did not turn in a clean defensive performance. His skating still needs vast improvement. The Checkers first goal came after Jiricek hit the deck and gave a clear lane to the net. <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, he did everything he was expected to do offensively, and came up with a very timely goal. <\/p>\n<p>Jiricek will be very fun to watch in Lehigh. <\/p>\n<p>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/phillyhockeynow.com\/2026\/03\/06\/flyers-trade-bobby-brink-to-wild-for-former-top-10-pick-david-jiricek-full-analysis\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Flyers Trade Bobby Brink to Wild for Former Top-10 Pick David Jiricek; Full Analysis<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After being traded to the Philadelphia Flyers organization on Friday, defenseman David Jiricek made it to Lehigh Valley&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":493977,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5112],"tags":[796,1468,12594,5,774,4,1467,56,5205],"class_list":["post-493976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia-flyers","tag-david-jiricek","tag-flyers","tag-flyers-prospects","tag-hockey","tag-lehigh-valley-phantoms","tag-nhl","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-flyers","tag-philadelphiaflyers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116196704588511295","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
