PHILADELPHIA — Just when it seemed like the Flyers would close out the Montreal Canadiens in the third period, up 3-2 with less than a minute left in regulation, the Flyers found a way to fall short.
Canadiens center Rem Pitlick scored a shorthanded goal with just 47 seconds remaining in the third period, sending the two teams to three-on-three overtime. In overtime, Cole Caufield won the game with a slapshot past goalie Carter Hart.
The last time the two squads met in Montreal on Dec. 16, the Flyers fell in a shootout, 3-2.
