Flyers top Sens 3-2 in the Shootout

The Ottawa Senators have made a habit this year of closing out games once they’re ahead. Of all the ways that Guy Boucher has improved this team, their ability to hold onto the lead probably stands at the top of the heap. There have been times when holding onto the lead meant holding on for dear life, but by and large the Sens have been successful at getting full value for their leads. It was strange, then, to see Ottawa blow two separate leads and walk away with only a single point after they fell 3-2 to the Philadelphia Flyers in a shootout.
