Morning Observations is a feature where we break down the previous night's game with an analytical eye.
Philadelphia may have fallen behind 2-0 by the midpoint of last night’s contest against the Ottawa Senators, but the game had a similar feel as Tuesday’s versus the Bruins, except in reverse. The Sens took on the Flyers’ role from two nights earlier, overcoming poor territorial play with opportunistic tallies. Philadelphia of the present, on the other hand, was dominating the shots battle but simply could not beat Mike Condon, who got off to a great start and had an answer for every high-quality chance.
