The opportunity was there for the Philadelphia Flyers to close out their long post-Christmas road trip with an unlikely victory over a top-tier Eastern Conference foe.
They just came up just a bit short.
Morgan Rielly scored midway through overtime to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 3-2 victory over the Flyers and send them back to Philadelphia with a 2-2-1 record on their yearly "Disney on Ice" road trip. Tyson Foerster and Scott Laughton scored for the Flyers, while Ivan Fedotov -- making his first start for the club since December 5 -- made 22 saves in defeat. Dennis Hildeby was the hero in goal for Toronto, stopping 30 of 32 shots to earn the win.

Turning point of the game
Perhaps if one...
