The Philadelphia Flyers blew a third period lead and were unable to score on nine shootout attempts in a 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders.
It was Philly’s best game in weeks.
It is truly remarkable a team with high expectations is standing one loss shy of a second 10-game losing streak before the season’s midway point.
Tuesday’s game with the Isles was the Flyers’ 39th of the season. If the Orange and Black manage to lose to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday in the season’s 40th game, that will be an incredible feat.
