But after an aggressive start the second period for the Flyers, Ty Murchison, Emil Andrea and really every Flyer wilted under the pressure of Carolina’s forecheck, leading to a string of turnovers that allowed Nikolaj Ehlers and Alexander Nikishin to tie the game in what was a dominant middle frame for the Canes. The teams traded goals in the third, and Sam Ersson was huge in overtime, but finally got beat in the shootout by Jackson Blake after Zegras, Matvei Michkov, Travis Konecny and Bobby Brink all failed to beat Pytor Kochetkov in the skills competition. Big let down for the Flyers, who end a six-game homestand 2-2-2, and now have to go to Carolina and do it all over again tomorrow evening. First periodIn the opening 90 seconds of the game, Trevor Zegras turns the puck over to Sean Walker as he exited the defeinsive zone, and Walker caught the Flyers in a line change with a lead pass to Seth Jarvis to send Jarvis on a mini-breakaway against Sam Ersson, but luckily the backhand bid went high.
