PHILADELPHIA — An early lead, too many penalties, another injury and a game lost in the final minutes. The season finale ended in typical Flyers fashion as they lost, 4-2, to the Ottawa Senators and fell to a 25-46-11 record.
After a pretty evenly matched first period, the Flyers went on the power play with 1:57 to go. While that has killed momentum for the Flyers in the past, this time the Flyers not only built momentum, but also scored. James van Riemsdyk’s goal was his 24th of the season, which put him ahead of Cam Atkinson as team goal leader.
Despite going on the penalty kill twice in quick succession, the Flyers maintained a lead until a turnover by Ivan Provorov led to Josh Norris’s equalizing goal.
