The Flyers mounted a strong comeback in the dying minutes of regulation, but still lost to Columbus 4-3 in overtime on Tuesday night. The loss, leaving Philadelphia with a 3-7-4 record, was the result of a pathetic first 30 minutes…
The Philadelphia Flyers erased a three-goal deficit before falling 4-3 in overtime to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Columbus took control in the first period with goals from Adam Fantilli, Kent Johnson, and Denton Mateychuk. Noah Cates, Trevor Zegras, and Jamie Drysdale replied for Philadelphia, with Drysdale tying the game with just 9.6 seconds remaining in regulation to force extra time.
Despite the comeback, Johnson scored his second goal of the night on a two-on-zero rush at 2:22 of overtime to secure the win for the Blue Jackets. Goaltender Dan Vladar stopped 11 of 15 shots for Philadelphia as the team moved to a 3-7-4 record on the season.
