The Flyers coughed up a game they absolutely should have won Wednesday night as they suffered a brutal 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth at Delta Center. Rick Tocchet’s club had leads of 3-0 and 4-2. With 35 seconds left in regulation, Clayton Keller tied it for Utah. The Mammoth’s captain went around Travis Sanheim and beat Samuel Ersson to force the bonus session. A little under a minute before that, Garnet Hathaway had a chance to seal the game with a clear path for an empty-net goal. But the veteran winger tried skating with it and was stripped as he went to shoot. Keller won the game 2:01 minutes into OT. Christian Dvorak had a pair of goals and an assist for the Flyers, while Cam York and Bobby Brink also found the back of the net. Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale each collected two assists. The Flyers (23-17-9) dropped to 1-0-1 on this three-game road trip against teams all in Western Conference playoff position. After snapping a season-worst six-game skid Monday night with a 2-1 win over the Golden Knights, the Flyers couldn’t build on it. Last season, they had a crushing loss in Utah very similar to this one. The Mammoth (26-20-4) extended their point streak to eight games (7-0-1). The Flyers face Utah again March 5 when the clubs meet in Philadelphia. • Ersson made 22 saves on 27 shots. The Mammoth cut the Flyers’ 3-0 lead to 3-2 with goals in a span of 36 seconds during the second period. That prompted Tocchet to call a timeout, which seemed to settle things down for the Flyers. Dvorak responded with his second goal, this one on the power play, to restore some order. Utah’s third goal came in the final stanza against the Flyers’ penalty kill. Noah Juulsen was whistled for roughing when he fought Jack McBain in defense of Jamie Drysdale. Dan Vladar missed a fourth straight game. We’ll see if he’s an option to play the final game of the trip, a possibility Tocchet mentioned four days ago. Vladar has been considered day to day with a lower-body injury. Mammoth netminder Karel Vejmelka stopped 25 of the Flyers’ 29 shots. • For a third straight game, the Flyers grabbed a 1-0 lead. They’ve had issues with falling behind, but they’ve addressed them recently. York jumped on a juicy rebound to start the scoring just 30 seconds into the action. A little over four minutes later, Dvorak deposited his first of the game to extend the Flyers’ lead. Brink made it 3-0 with a power play goal in the opening minute of the second period. At that point, it sure looked like the Flyers were headed to a win. Instead, they’ve now lost seven of their last eight games (1-5-2). • Owen Tippett had to leave the game early in the middle stanza after taking an open-ice hit from Liam O’Brien. The Flyers’ winger was able to return later in the period and finished with 13:46 minutes. • The Flyers wrap up their trip Friday when they visit the 34-5-9 Avalanche (9 p.m. ET/NBCSP).

Michelle Obama opened up on “Call Her Daddy” about whether she believes the U.S. is ready for a female president. The former first lady discussed a wide range of topics during her interview with Alex Cooper on the Jan. 21 episode of the podcast, including the scrutiny she faced while in the public eye and the media’s focus on her appearance during Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Obama also expanded on comments she made last November about whether she would ever consider running for president herself and what that says about the country’s readiness for a woman in the Oval Office. “As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” Obama said. “That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running, because you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. You are not.” She previously touched on the subject during a conversation with actor Tracee Ellis Ross for a live taping of her podcast, “IMO,” at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Nov. 5, 2025. Ross asked Obama whether serving as first lady had affected “the room that we’ve made for a woman to be president.” “You know, we got a lot of growing up to do,” Obama said. “And there’s still, sadly, a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman, and we saw it.” Speaking with Cooper, Obama elaborated further. “We’ve come a long way,” she said. “Whether people really feel yet that they can follow a woman as president… we’d be silly to think there aren’t some gut… I don’t know, like we’re not even analyzing what those feelings are about because we’re trying to pretend it’s all better.” “How could it be all better?” she continued. “We’ve been feeding off this bone for so long, it doesn’t just go away. It takes time. But we’re moving. We are moving in that direction.” Michelle Obama Nov 15, 2025 Michelle Obama says the U.S. is ‘not ready' for a woman president Michelle Obama Aug 14, 2025 The 3 words of dating advice Michelle Obama gave her daughters celebrity couples Jul 16, 2025 Barack and Michelle Obama break silence on divorce rumors “There are men out there who would not vote for a woman,” she said. “Let’s just be real about it and put that on the table and talk about what that’s about.” “Let’s not be mad because I made the statement,” Obama added. “Let’s look at the fact that we’ve had two really qualified female candidates.” “We have qualified women. They’re not perfect, they don’t cross every T and dot every I, there’s a falling-shortness that happens,” she said. “But why can’t we talk about that? Why are we pretending that didn’t just happen?” Cooper noted that some critics have argued that disliking certain candidates does not necessarily mean the country isn’t ready for a woman president. “We’re still growing,” Obama responded. “I think it’s going to happen. Are we ready now? I don’t know. Let’s prove us wrong. I would love that.” Cooper also raised a hypothetical scenario in which President Donald Trump changes the law and runs for a third term, asking whether Barack Obama would ever consider returning to politics. “I hope not,” Obama said. “I would actively work against that. I would be at home working against it.” “I do believe in the need for new vision,” she added. “This is a hard job, and it requires new energy, new vision all the time, new ways of looking at the world. So, I do think that eight years is enough.” “How are we going to build new leaders if the same people keep doing it again and again and again?”
