Given an opportunity to pick up two big points on a division rival right in front of them in the standings, the Flyers instead fell short, losing 2-1 in overtime to the New Jersey Devils.
The Philadelphia Flyers have proven surprisingly adept at the NHL's new 3-on-3 overtime. 4-on-3 is a different story entirely.
Jakub Voracek took a hooking penalty midway through the overtime session, and the New Jersey Devils capitalized on the ensuing power play, as Adam Henrique blasted a shot past goaltender Michal Neuvirth to send the Flyers to a 2-1 defeat on Saturday afternoon at the Wells Fargo Center.
