The Flyers once again lost the game in the third period, falling 4-2, to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Even though they pummeled the goal with shots and played a dominant second period to spark a comeback, the Flyers once again lost the game in the third period, falling, 4-2, to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center. The Flyers had a season-high 49 shots on goal in the loss.
“The whole story of this game was their goalie [Elvis Merzlikins, who made 47 saves], to be honest with you,” Yeo said. “I’m disappointed for our players, because I thought that we did a lot of great things tonight, to be honest with you. Those are games that more often than not, you’re gonna win.”All three of the goals scored in the first period were NHL firsts. Blue Jacket Carson Meyer scored his first NHL point when he assisted on Brendan Gaunce’s goal, the first of the game.
The six minutes with the man advantage turned into a game of keep-away. There was good puck movement as they circled the puck around the offensive zone. The Flyers took four shots on the first power play, although they weren’t quality shots. After that, they took just three on the second, one in the third, and one on the fourth.
“Today, first power play wasn’t good, but after that, I think we found a rhythm, got set up, had a bunch of looks, a bunch of shots on net with a few tips,” Provorov said. “And yeah, just got to find a way to put the puck in the net.”Although Frost and Owen Tippett had good chemistry, they just couldn’t produce. In the first game Yeo split them up, Tippett scored and Frost played so well he got moved up to the top line for Tuesday’s game.
