The Flyers began the night with a prime chance to gain ground in the Eastern Conference playoff race, but ended it sitting farther behind.
Seth Jones scored with 32 seconds left in overtime as the Blue Jackets downed the Flyers, 4-3, in a back-and-forth affair at Nationwide Arena. It was a particularly painful defeat for the Flyers, who were looking to close the gap on the Blue Jackets, Penguins, and Hurricanes ahead of them in the standings.
FIRST PERIOD
The Flyers would earn the early power play chance as Travis Konecny got dumped awkwardly into the boards by Columbus captain Nick Foligno 3:20 in.
