The Flyers played a pretty even game tonight, on the road, against a Columbus Blue Jackets team that is a few days removed from the end of a 16-game winning streak. They lost said game by a score of 2-1 thanks to an overtime goal by the home team, completing a close-fought but still tough-to-swallow loss to a division rival.
For the Flyers, this one will go down as a game of just-missed chances and tough breaks, chief among them a pair of challenges that both ended up going in the Blue Jackets’ favor.
