The Philadelphia Flyers' struggles continued as they fell to the Ottawa Senators 5-2, marking their fifth consecutive loss. Flyers defenseman Nick Seeler expressed frustration over the team's inability to limit odd-man rushes, contributing to their downfall. Ottawa’s Brady Tkachuk opened the scoring early, while Jamie Drysdale equalized for Philadelphia. However, the Senators quickly responded and regained the lead, with Dylan Cozens later extending it to 4-2. Anton Forsberg's strong performance in goal, including 20 saves, was pivotal for Ottawa, who secured a decisive win.
