In the rubber match of three straight games against the New York Islanders, the Philadelphia Flyers lost in overtime, 2-1, at the Wells Fargo Center on Monday night. The Flyers outworked the Islanders through most of the game, and carried a 37-15 shot on goal edge through regulation.

The Flyers largely dominated the first period but Isles nursed the game to the first intermission scoreless, thanks to clutch goaltending. The game remained scoreless until Oskar Lindblom (5th goal of the season) scored from right in front of the net with 7:57 remaining in the second period. Oliver Wahlstrom (8th) tied the game early in the third period on scrum around the Philadelphia net.

In overtime, Anthony Beauvillier (4th) won the game for his team, assisted by J.G. Pageau (2nd helper of the game). A bad pass by Joel Farabee went off the stick of Shayne Gostisbehere and possession was lost. Beauvillier then scored on a wraparound in which Brian Elliott was slow to get over to cover.

A failed Flyers power play late in regulation with a chance to win the game came back to haunt Philly in OT. All three OT shots belonged to New York.

Elliott stopped 17 of 19 shots in a losing cause. Ilya Sorokin was outstanding in net for the Islanders, denying 36 of 37 shots including numerous tough opportunities.
