PHILADELPHIA, PA -In a tight game, Wayne Simmonds' third-period tally proved to be the difference as the Oilers dropped a 2-1 decision to the Philadelphia Flyers.
"That was a pretty evenly played game," said Head Coach Todd McLellan. "Both teams checked pretty hard I thought and there wasn't a lot of free ice to get creative. I thought we were a little bit slow out of the gate and then kind of found our legs as we got going. We made one more mistake than they did and they got one on the power play and we didn't… That's probably the difference in the night."
