MONDAY’S SINGLE DIGITS

>>> The Ottawa Senators Monday became just the fourth NHL team since the 1996-97 season to score seven or more goals in a loss:
Nov. 18, 2010: Lightning 8, Flyers 7
Oct. 27, 2011: Jets 9, Flyers 8
Jan. 16, 2017: Penguins 8, Capitals 7 (ot)
Feb. 18, 2019: Blackhawks 8, Senators 7

>>> Interesting that a Flyers-Lightning game is on that list. They meet Tuesday at the Wells Fargo Center and their last three match-ups have yielded 11, 11 and 13 goals (all in overtime or a shootout). By the way, this will be the 100th meeting in the series; 19 of the previous 99 have gone beyond the regulation 60 minutes.

>>> Saint Joseph’s will have had a full week off between games by the time it faces Massachusetts Saturday. Good thing for freshman point guard Jared Bynum, who has played 397 of the Hawks’ 400 minutes over the last 10 games (from Jan. 15 to Feb. 15).

>>> After beating the Red Wings Saturday (home) and Sunday (Detroit), the Flyers are 5-2 in in the second game of home-then-road back-to-backs. They have two of those instances remaining on their schedule:
March 14: Capitals / March 15: at Maple Leafs
March 23: Islanders / March 24: at Capitals
