Flyers force OT with 9.6 seconds left, but lose to Islanders 4-3 in Ivan Fedotov’s debut

Nearly eight years after the goalie was drafted, he made his debut 20 minutes into a game that could only be described as a must-win for a multitude of reasons. The Flyers waited until 9.6 seconds were left in the third period to tie things up on Morgan Frost’s goal and give Fedotov his first taste of overtime.

With the point they earned, the Flyers moved into third place in the Metropolitan Division as the Washington Capitals were off on Monday. Washington has three games in hand on Philly and will play twice between now and Friday. With their win, the Islanders moved four points back of the Flyers, and have played two fewer games.

The Russian netminder did allow the go-ahead goal in the second period, a nifty deflection in front by Islanders captain Anders Lee but there wasn’t much he could do to stop that one. Across 40 minutes of action, the rookie squared up to shooters, stopped Barzal on a breakaway while flashing the leather, and made key stops to keep the Flyers in it until the end. He stopped 19 of 21 shots — 16 of 17 in the second period alone — but it was too little too late.
