Game in 10: Late push falls short for the Maple Leafs in Philadelphia
Timothy Liljegren, Maple Leafs vs. FlyersA 3-0 deficit proved too much to fully overcome for a Maple Leafs team that couldn’t buy a goal for the first 40 minutes in Philadelphia.
Your game in 10:
1. Before the game, the Leafs talked about expecting a big push from the Flyers after last week’s result and the scratching of several important veterans (including their captain), but it seems as though believing required seeing.
Despite the Leafs winning the opening draw, the Flyers won a couple of board battles in the neutral and offensive zones before Owen Tippett fired a shot from the top of the circle through traffic past an unsighted Ilya Samsonov for the 1-0 goal just 17 seconds into the game.
