Another game in which the Flyers blew a third period lead, and another game that needed extra time. For the ninth time this season a Flyers game went to overtime, and for the eight time it went to a shootout — that’s a ton of close games.
Following a snoozefest of a first period, the Flyers took it to the Flames in the second period, holding them to just seven shot attempts at 5-on-5 while taking 22 themselves. Jakub Voracek opened the scoring in the middle frame when a Travis Sanheim shot snuck through David Rittich, and Voracek found the puck in the blue paint.
