Flyers squander third-period lead in a disappointing overtime loss

The Philadelphia Flyers seemed to be on the way to stealing a victory until they squandered their lead and lose in overtime.

These are the kind of games that hurt the most. After two periods and leading by two goals, the Philadelphia Flyers found themselves playing on their heels. After starting the third period with the lead on the Boston Bruins by two, the Flyers played to force overtime at the end of regulation. Defensive breakdowns allowed the Bruins to gain confidence on offense. Philadelphia allowed forty shots or more for the second game in the row.
