The Philadelphia Flyers are still searching for their first victory four games into the 2014-2015 season after losing to the Anaheim Ducks in a shootout on Tuesday.
Philadelphia fell behind by two goals in the first period before clawing back with a strong stretch of play in the second. Flyers' Jakub Voracek restored the tie in the third period after a go-ahead goal by Anaheim's Matt Beleskey.
Anaheim fired 15 shots on net in the opening 20 minutes, but the Flyers were the better team after that, outshooting the Ducks 31-13.
Flyers captain Claude Giroux believes the team is better than their record thus far and the results will come - as long as they play an entire game:
Giroux: "The game that we play all three periods we're going to be dangerous."

Playing all three periods would be a start, but Philadelphia also needs to get some scoring from players not named Wayne Simmonds, who has five goals, but no other Philadelphia player has more than one.
