If you’re on the Flyers and you’re name isn’t Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier, Jake Voracek, Shayne Gostisbehere, or Ivan Provorov, chances are you can’t score.

It happened again Tuesday night against the Vancouver Canucks in a 5-2 loss. Provorov and Voracek scored the two goals. Michal Neuvirth stopped 18 of 22 shots in 34:26 of work. He got pulled after the fourth goal midway through the second period. He looked awful last night, along with the rest of the team.

What’s it going to take for the Flyers to get their mojo back?

The moves may have begun on defense. There’s a chance Mark Alt gets replaced by Sam Morin on the defense. He was seen carrying his sticks and bag when leaving the arena last night. On offense, Matt Read has cleared waivers, but he has not been sent down to Lehigh Valley just yet.

Flyers are back in action tonight in Brooklyn against the Islanders. Puck drop is set for 7 pm on NBC Sports Philadelphia +.

Before we begin with the roundup, make sure you get your tickets for our Ugly Christmas Sweater party happening next Saturday.

The Roundup:

Former Eagles Brian Dawkins and Terrell Owens are Pro Football Hall of Fame semifinalists:

The Eagles return to practice today, and Alshon Jeffery is enjoying his year in Philadelphia:

Jeffery is letting his personality show, too. He has been an active member of the Eagles’ touchdown celebrations, and he was animated during the second half of the Cowboys game. (The gist of the explicit message was that teams shouldn’t mess with the Eagles, and that they were the best.)

At least publicly, Jeffery is playing down the Bears game. He enjoyed his time there, but he said he’s in Philadelphia, the Eagles are winning, and it’s just the next game. Reich said when a player plays against a former team, there’s always emotion to guard against it. Reich experienced it as a player. The Bears haven’t allowed a 100-yard receiver since Week 3, so Jeffery will be challenged against a defensive system he knows well. But looking at the Bears offense, they could use a player like Jeffery — no receiver has more than 330 yards there.

At the conclusion of the Bears’ three-win 2016 season, Jeffery told reporters, “I guarantee you we’re going to win the Super Bowl next year.” Asked about the comment on Tuesday, Jeffery interjected with a smile.

“I never said a team, though,” Jeffery said.

The defensive line isn’t the only line playing with some emotion.

Special teams guru Chris Maragos enjoyed Kamu Grugier-Hill’s kicking on Sunday.

The Eagles and Sportsradio 94WIP agreed to a new seven-year extension to broadcast Eagles games on the station.

Finally, Eagle hater Nick Wright is back at it. He went to Syracuse (where I go now), and by god does he look like a Syracuse journalism graduate. He definitely was one of those really annoying kids when he was on campus.

The Sixers take on the Portland Trail Blazers tonight at 7 pm on NBC Sports Philadelphia. Point guard Damian Lillard thinks the Sixers should be respected across the league:

“I think in the past we took them lightly. They kind of jumped out and played hard and they beat us,” Lillard said following a Tuesday-evening practice at the Sixers training complex in Camden. “This year, you have no choice but to respect what they’ve done and how they’re playing. They’re not doing it like it’s luck, they’re out there hooping.”

Lillard sprained his right ankle in the second quarter Monday night against the Grizzlies. He returned in the second half and helped the Trail Blazers earn a 100-92 victory on the first of a five-game road trip.

The second game of that trip takes place on Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center against the Sixers.

Joel Embiid isn’t worried about his trash talk motivating opponents.

Let’s recap Monday night’s fun win over the Utah Jazz.

Ben Simmons has an important question to ask:

Some details were released in Roy Halladay’s deadly plane crash

In college basketball, Penn fell to Towson 78-71 in the Gulf Coast Showcase. They take on University of Missouri-Kansas City today.

Also today, No. 5 Villanova takes on Western Kentucky in the Battle 4 Atlantis, and La Salle takes on No. 11 Miami (FL) in Reading.

In other sports news, Jerry Jones will not sue the NFL over Roger Goodell’s contract. But he’s not stopping his crusade entirely:

Though he has stepped back from embroiling the league in a costly and embarrassing legal fight, Jones is not done trying to influence the outcome of the contract extension. In his letter, he said he was trying to “prevent more damage to the league. He noted that television ratings had continued to decline, demand for tickets had fallen, and there was more “discontent amongst our fans than ever before.”

He said the league office had an inflated staff and budget, sponsors believed the league had “credibility issues” and the league had spent too much time fighting players in court.

This week’s College Football Playoff rankings has Miami jumping to No. 2:

The “Japanese Babe Ruth”, Shohei Ohtani, will be able to sign with an MLB team in December.

Missouri freshman Michael Porter Jr. will miss the remainder of this season after undergoing back surgery:

He played only two minutes in a Tiger uniform, but he’ll probably be a top five pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.

After breaking rules for signing amateur players, the Atlanta Braves lost 12 prospects to free agency and former general manager John Coppolella has been banned for life.

Trump also tweeted out his thoughts about the NFL, again:
