PHILADELPHIA - The Ottawa Senators hit a pothole Tuesday night on the road to the playoffs.
Yes, they picked up a valuable point to move a step closer to clinching a playoff spot, but the Senators weren’t able to give goalie Craig Anderson a hand after his third-period error sent this to OT and the club dropped a 3-2 shootout decision to the Philadelphia Flyers at the Wells Fargo Center.
Jordan Weal scored the winner in the shootout for the Flyers.
Kyle Turris and Erik Karlsson did the scoring for the Senators on goalie Steve Mason in regulation while Weal tied it up after Anderson’s gaffe and Brayden Schenn also chipped in for the Flyers.
