That game could’ve gone better. On a night where they outshot the Edmonton Oilers 52-22, the Philadelphia Flyers found themselves on the wrong side of a 6-3 outcome. Mikko Koskinen made 49 saves in a game where the Flyers had 84 shot attempts (shots on goal, missed shots, and blocked shots) to Edmonton’s 37 but found themselves getting doubled up on the scoreboard.
An inability to convert while dominating the Oilers at the start of the second period resulted in Connor McDavid scoring a Connor McDavid goal to make it a 3-1 game while the shot count 23-11 in favor of Philly.
