For the second time this season, the Flyers kept up with the No. 1 team in the division, the Carolina Hurricanes.
But with multiple losing streaks and injuries between the first game, a 2-1 win on Nov. 12, and Monday’s, the Flyers were unable to complete a second upset and fell, 4-3, in overtime at the Wells Fargo Center. It was the Flyers’ fifth consecutive loss and 18th in the past 20 games.
Through the first 10 minutes, the Flyers kept the Hurricanes from registering a shot on goal. Helped by strong defensive play, the Flyers won the puck possession battle and outshot Carolina, 12-2, during a scoreless first period.
