Film Study: Provorov’s mistakes put Flyers in a hole, pretty passes tie it up

The Philadelphia Flyers fell victim to an all-too-familiar script on Thursday night. Two defensive mistakes ended up in the back of their own net early on, they climbed back into it, but couldn’t get over the hump in a shootout loss.

Ivan Provorov has struggled this season, but he had a few mistakes that were even uncharacteristic for him that resulted in the Islanders scoring twice in a 1:03 span. The Flyers were able to recover with a strong penalty kill and a gift of a goal from Ilya Sorokin to cut the deficit to one after the first period.
