AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThrough 40 minutes, Travis Konecny had tallied the game’s only score, and the two teams had combined for 24 shots on goal. The third period wasn’t overly eventful, and it looked like the Orange & Black could extend their lead or at least salt the game away with a couple of Maple Leaf penalties on the backside of the 10-minute mark of the third, but Scott Laughton netted a short-handed goal against his former team with six minutes left, and that gave us what was a crazy exciting overtime, unfortunately ended by Easton Cowan to hand Philadelphia the OTL. First periodHighlight: Not much happened in the first ~17 minutes, but the Flyers’ fourth line had the best shift of the period with about three minutes left, establishing a forecheck, and winning battles to keep possession alive. Nikita Grebenkin had a particularly strong shift holding the puck behind the net and on the wall, eventually spinning and dishing to a drifting Cam York on the back door.
