Konecny had a chance to win the game in overtime. He had a breakaway in on goal following a neutral zone faceoff. He had no real challenge from the Hurricanes defense, either. However, he missed the net completely , allowing the game to continue on.
After the game, Konecny spoke with the media. And he lamented his massive missed opportunity in overtime on Monday. "I should have finished that. It should have been over, and we're going home with a win," the Flyers forward said, via PHLY Sports reporter Charlie O'Connor.
Konecny has been one of Philadelphia's most important forwards over the last few seasons. The veteran winger scored 27 goals and 68 points this season for the Flyers. However, he has one goal and four points through eight games in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Flyers have lost a lot of their margin for error in this series. Philadelphia trails the Hurricanes 2-0. Even with the series shifting back to Philadelphia, they cannot afford to make many significant errors. Their season depends on them tightening up their play over the course of the next few games.
Philadelphia is not out of the series just yet. But they certainly have work to do in order to pull themselves away from the threat of elimination. The Flyers and Hurricanes return to the ice on Thursday night in Philadelphia for Game 3.
