It’s an afternoon game in November, so let’s not lose sight of the big picture, but come on. Coming into the third with a 1-0 lead, and then getting the advantage back with under four minutes to play at home, against a Calgary Flames squad that had been 0-5-1 in its previous six games, losing in a shootout is failure.
Jakub Voracek scored the 200th goal of his career, ending a 12-game goal drought, and Kevin Hayes netted his second in as many nights after his own lengthy scoreless streak, but that was all the offense Philly could mount against David Rittich (36 saves), and a Calgary team that erased a pair of deficits in the third and held on through overtime to earn two points in the skills competition.
