PHILADELPHIA – In certain hockey game situations, it might be OK to shoot first and ask questions later.

That could have been the case for the Flyers on Saturday night in a 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

The Flyers spent the first two periods of the game generating only 14 shots, passing up what looked like a number of decent scoring chances and falling behind by a couple goals.

By the time they woke up in the third period, one in which they produced 19 shots, it was too late. Their five-game home winning streak had come to an end.

The Flyers probably caught the Maple Leafs at the wrong time. Toronto entered Saturday night’s game as the only NHL team without a point on the road (0-3-0) and played with more desperation than the home team.
