NEWARK, N.J. — Playing their second game in as many nights, the Flyers allowed two late goals Thursday and suffered their third straight defeat.
Nico Hischier scored on a redirection on a line rush with 1 minute, 27 seconds left, snapping a 3-3 tie and giving the Devils a 4-3 comeback win at the Prudential Center.
The late heroics ruined goalie Alex Lyon’s first NHL start. The Flyers had been 18-0-3 when taking a lead into the third period.
Hischier, the rookie picked No. 1 in last June’s draft, converted a cross from Blake Coleman to snap a 10-game goal-less streak.
