Stop me if you’ve heard this story before: The Philadelphia Flyers held a third-period lead in a matinee game in Boston and ended up on the losing side after the final horn. They were able to hold on for a loser point, but they should’ve had two the way the game was going.
Matvei Michkov scored twice in the first period to put the Flyers up 2-0 and Cam York scored late in the second period to put them back up by two at 3-1. Then the wheels fell off in the third period.
The Bruins scored twice within 10 minutes to tie the game, and although neither of those goals came on the power play, the Flyers played a man down for six of the final nearly 14 minutes in regulation.
