The Flyers had to scramble back for an overtime loss against Columbus after getting yet another wakeup call. But it's too far into the season for those now.
The Philadelphia Flyers suffered a 4-3 overtime defeat against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena. After falling behind 3-0 in the first period, Philadelphia rallied to tie the game with goals from Noah Cates, Trevor Zegras, and Jamie Drysdale to force overtime. However, Columbus secured the victory when Kent Johnson scored on a 2-on-0 breakaway with Adam Fantilli.
PhillyVoice writer Nick Tricome argues that despite securing a point, the Flyers displayed inconsistent, sloppy play that reflected their poor early-season form. Columbus opened the scoring through Fantilli, followed by goals from Johnson and Denton Mateychuk past goaltender Dan Vladar. Following the loss, the Flyers dropped to a 3-7-4 record on the season.
