The Flyers lost a point to a team behind them in the playoff race in a shootout to the Devils on Tuesday night, and they’ll hope to avoid dropping points to another team behind them when they travel to face the Blue Jackets tonight.
That loss to New Jersey was just the fifth time in 25 games the Flyers have failed to get two points when leading after two periods. It was a Taylor Hall goal with 1:21 left in regulation that did them in, though the result was almost inevitable given that the Devils spent most of that period running around the Flyers’ zone.
