Daily News | Flyers collapse in the third period, fall to Canadiens in overtime, 4-3
, the Flyers found themselves defending too frequently. However, in the first period against the Canadiens, the Flyers took advantage of their opponent’s turnovers in the neutral zone and took up residency in the offensive zone.
According to Natural Stat Trick, the Flyers managed four high-danger scoring chances to the Canadiens’ one, but only Hayes was able to capitalize on his opportunity. The Flyers passed when they should’ve shot the puck on goal or their shots missed wide-open nets entirely. Late in the first period, winger Gerry Mayhew’s one-timer in the low slot missed wide of the net. Two minutes later, Ristolainen’s cross-seam pass to Morgan Frost on goalie Sam Montembeault’s doorstep slid beyond his reach.
“Before that moment [Pitlick’s tying goal] in the game, I’m sure you guys probably agree, it’s not like we all felt real good about our game,” Yeo said. “Even when we have the lead. So, again, we’re going to have to keep finding ways to get players to understand that you can play the way you want to play or you can play to win hockey.
Frost stood out with his playmaking abilities, especially on Giroux’s second goal — the captain’s 900th career point — in the second period. After Konecny won a puck battle along the boards in the offensive zone, he passed to Frost, who threw the puck at Montembeault’s pads. Giroux was perfectly positioned to put home a rebound for a 2-1 Flyers lead.
However, Frost played a role in handing the Canadiens possession of the puck to score the overtime game-winner. In an attempt to break out of the Flyers’ zone, Frost tried to get a pass off to Joel Farabee, but the puck hit Farabee in the skates. Pitlick took the puck away and found Caufield, whose goal put the Canadiens on top, 4-3.The Flyers wrap up their two-game homestand against the Nashville Predators on Thursday at 7 p.m.
