The Philadelphia Flyers (5-10-6) picked up a hard-earned point vs. the Edmonton Oilers (14-3-3) on Wednesday, but lost in overtime 3-2 at Rogers Place.
Zach Hyman and Evan Bouchard scored for the Oilers. Tyson Foerster and Travis Sanheim scored for the Flyers.

To the surprise of no one, and by no one, I mean everyone, the Flyers played a really strong first period. There were no notable scoring chances or goals for either side. Going up against a team like the Oilers, that is an absolute win of a first period.
However, the Flyers were still generating shots on goal. In fact, they outshot Edmonton 13-6 in the first frame. The Oilers have a lethal offensive attack, but the Flyers’ defensive structure held strong throughout the first period. Dan Vladar had to work, but not too hard.
The Flyers got an early second-period power play with a chance to take the lead, but they could not. Not long after, the Oilers got a very fortunate bounce, leading to a Zach Hyman goal to break the ice. The Flyers nearly tied it, but a heads-up play with the stick by Owen Michaels stopped the puck from crossing the goal line.
Hyman doubled the Oilers’ lead later on in the period, but Tyson Foerster got one back for the Flyers, making it a 2-1 game headed into the second intermission. Once again, the Flyers dominated the shot battle, 14-7 in the second period. It was another great period of hockey; it was just spoiled by a lucky bounce and a power-play goal.

The third period looked to mimic the first. The Flyers were playing well, which, for the standard of third periods this season, was a shock against the Oilers. There was a good effort, but Tristan Jarry was standing tall. That was until Travis Sanheim scored the equalizer from close range, with less than 10 minutes to play.
The Oilers had a great chance inside of the final 30 seconds, but Vladar held strong, and the game went to overtime.
However, when you have Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Evan Bouchard on the ice in 3-on-3, it’s hardly fair. The Oilers made quick work of overtime, beating the Flyers 3-2.
