On the second night of a back-to-back with captain Claude Giroux left behind in Philadelphia awaiting a trade, the Flyers had to win the third period and break a 1-1 tie to claim victory in their game against the Ottawa Senators.
But after center Morgan Frost took a hooking penalty halfway through the third period, the Senators pulled ahead on a Josh Norris power-play goal and sealed a 3-1 victory on an empty-net goal.
The Flyers struggled to compete with the fresh legs of the Senators in the third period on Friday night at the Canadian Tire Centre, getting outshot 12-10 in the third period.
