The Philadelphia Flyers played a gutsy game on Wednesday night against the Edmonton Oilers. Edmonton dominated most of the game, with the lopsided 25-11 shot count after 40 minutes underscoring the Oilers’ dominance.

But the Flyers came out and played a fantastic third period. Philly outshot the Oilers 9-5 and had the Western Conference champions on their heels the entire period.
