The Philadelphia Flyers and Ottawa Senators participated in a wild game on Saturday. First, the Senators scored three goals in the first period and led 3-0 after one. The Flyers came roaring back to tie the game, scoring three goals of their own in the second period. Then, the third period was scoreless and the game went into overtime.
Overtime began with Danny Briere making a great move to break free only to have his shot attempt hit the right post. The Flyers also had another golden opportunity to ice the game, as they played the final 48 seconds of overtime with a 4 on 3 power play. They were unable to capitalize and the game entered a shootout.
The shootout ended with Danny Briere missing a shot and Ottawa escaping with a 4-3 SO win, despite blowing an early 3-0 lead.

And just like that the Flyers are back in it.
There's a reason the Flyers are the second-highest scoring team in the NHL. Down 3-0 after one period of play, they out-scored the Ottawa Senators 3-0 in the second period to knot the game at three going into the third and final period.
Wayne Simmonds scored his 26th goal of the season, early in the period, followed by Sean Couturier and Braydon Coburn scoring their 13th and fourth goals of the season, respectively. Jaromir Jagr has recorded a game-high five shots on goal, but is yet to convert.
After allowing three of the Senators 12 shots to reach the back of the net in the first period, Flyers goalie, Sergei Bobrovsky, saved all 10 shots he saw in the second period.
Both teams are 0-3 on power play chances.

Coming off a 7-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs two nights ago, the Flyers are well on their way to being on the other end of a lopsided victory on Saturday, as they trail the Ottawa Senators, 3-0, after one period of action.
The Flyers have actually out-shot the Senators, 15-12, but Philadelphia's goalie, Sergei Bobrovsky, saved only nine of the 12 Senators' first period shots, for an abysmal save percentage of .750. The Senators have out-hit the Flyers 17-11 and taken the puck away three more times. Both teams are 0-2 on power play opportunities.
Wayne Simmonds of the Flyers and Daniel Alfredsson of the Senators are tied for a game-high four shots on goal. Alfredsson has a goal and an assist to go along with his game-high four shots. The other two Senators goals were scored by Jason Spezza and Chris Neal.
