The Philadelphia Flyers couldn’t execute in Brian Elliott‘s five-hundredth career start, losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Last night, the Philadelphia Flyers scored seven on the Pittsburgh Penguins. Tonight, the Penguins returned the favor.
Through two periods, the Flyers battled the Penguins. They nearly tied the game on two occasions. Twice, Philadelphia trailed Pittsburgh by a single goal. In the third period, the Penguins separated themselves on the scoreboard.
Defensively, the Flyers were passive. Justin Braun and Ivan Provorov weren’t aggressive on the penalty kill, and puck watched a little too often.
