During last night game against the Penguins, Philadelphia's winning hopes came to an end with a beautiful no-look goal from Kristopher Letang in over-time.

Even though they lost the game, Flyers showed resilience and an overall impressive team performance. With brilliant goals from Giroux and Nick Seeler, the Flyers really put on a show during this Pennsylvanian rival's game.
Unfortunately, Philly's bottom-6 costed them the game. Cates, Bunnaman and MacEwen managed to allow 2 goals and scored 0. While the top 6 scored 4 and conceded none. Both while playing 5 vs 5.
Here's a look at the stats after two periods.

If you look at the stats from last game, bottom 6 CF was of 0% while Lindholm, Giroux and Atkinson's trio were averaging an impressive 63% and Van Riemsdyk, Laughton and Konecny had almost 57% CF. Last game showed exactly the current problem at Philly: the huge gap between star players and the rest of the team. The only bottom 6 player of last night that managed a decent performance was young Isaac Ratcliffe who keeps on impressing.
Last night game was one of the best matches between the two rivals in a long time, but unfortunately Giroux's bottom 6 teammates performance costed Philly the game.
