The Philadelphia Flyers' 5-game home winning streak came to an end with a 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Flyers generated only 14 shots in the first two periods, passing up several decent scoring chances. As one approach suggests, in certain situations, it's better to
shoot first and ask questions later.
By the third period, the Flyers produced 19 shots, but it was too late. The Maple Leafs, who entered the game as the only NHL team without a point on the road (0-3-0), played with more desperation and secured the win.
The Flyers likely caught the Maple Leafs at the wrong time, as Toronto's desperation ultimately led to their victory.
Author's summary: Flyers' 5-game home winning streak ends with 5-2 loss.
