Martin Necas scored the go-ahead goal with 29.3 seconds left in the third, as the Flyers fell to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.

The Flyers tied the game in the third period and earned a valuable point in the standings, but fell to the Hurricanes in overtime.

The Carolina Hurricanes are next to face the Flyers on Saturday evening and are still challenging for the Metropolitan Division title.

The Hurricanes have won eight of their last 10 games entering Thursday, while the Flyers have lost nine of their last 11 games.

Before reaching the break, the Flyers will face a red-hot Carolina Hurricanes team that has won seven straight games, 11 of their last 12, and has not lost in regulation since Nov. 23.

A late goal by Martin Necas forced overtime and Brent Burns scored the game-winner in overtime in a 4-3 loss for the Flyers.

The Flyers claimed Kieffer Bellows off waivers on Thursday, and he'll make his debut with the team on Saturday night when they face the Carolina Hurricanes.

Tomas Hertl was on the hook for three straight goals for the Sharks, picking up a natural hat trick to hand the Flyers their fifth straight loss, 3-2, at Wells Fargo Center. 

Injuries, COVID, and everything else aside, the Flyers are not clicking the way they need to. They may be turning the corner in terms of results, but they may be turning into a head-on collision with some of the best teams in the league still ahead on the schedule.

One night after getting the win in overtime, the Flyers didn't get the same fate on this night. Tomas Hertl scored on a rebound with 30.8 seconds remaining to hand the Flyers a 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night.
