The Philadelphia Flyers have an uncanny ability to make every single game a roller coaster ride. That remained true Saturday afternoon in their matinee tilt against the Ottawa Senators at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
After a rough start, the Flyers battled back to force overtime, but ultimately fell to the Senators by a score of 3-2 in OT.
