Flyers break team record for most shots in a game

2022-01-10

The 2021 Philadelphia Flyers laid seige to the Montreal Canadiens and Braden Holty in 5-4 overtime win setting the team's record for most shots in a game.

The put up a shot a minute pace against the Canadiens in what was ultimately a close encounter. Holtby did his best to hold off the barrage but in the end the sheer volume took it's toll and he was visibly tired towards the end of the affair ...

Notes:

- Only 4 players on the Flyers team didn't record a shot on goal (Skjei, Faulk, Necas & Smith) with some fans wondering whether they just took pity on the Canadiens at the end. 

- Two players reached double figures with Alex Killorn and Sean Couturier racking up 12 shots each - each of which was more than the Canadiens combined first line :O.

- 12 shots may be an individual record!
