Just when it seemed like they were getting healthy again, the Flyers were once again put behind the 8-ball as Jeff Carter and Daroll Powe were both lost for the night with flu like systems. Without those 2 the Orange and Black was forced to call up Ben Holmstrom from the Phantoms and insert a not fully healed James Van Reimsdyk back into the lineup. As a result they ran out of steam towards the end of the game and eventually ended up coming up just a little short.
Before coming up a little short in the 3rd period, the Flyers actually had the upper hand. About 6 minutes into the 1st period Mike Richards setup Kris Versteeg for a 1-0 lead. Later about 7 minutes into the 2nd period Richards setup Versteeg again for a 2-1 lead, but that would be the Orange and Black's last lead of the night. Toronto surged in the 3rd period and the Flyers just didn't have enough left to stop them before falling 3-2 for their first back to back losses in some time.
