The Flyers went into the All-Star break fresh off a shootout win in Florida. On Tuesday night, they found themselves in another shootout in the first game back.
The Winnipeg Jets traveled to the Wells Fargo Center for their third matchup with the Flyers this season.
The Jets were 2-0 against the Flyers heading into the game, with the first win coming from a memorable 9-8 final.
This game, however, was light on the scoring.

In the second, Chris Thorburn (1, 2:06) tied it up 1-1 for Winnipeg.
The Flyers got a couple good scoring chances in the third.
Scott Hartnell got a breakaway chance, but was stopped by Winnipeg goaltender Ondrej Pavelec.
The third period ended, so it was on to overtime. No one scored in overtime, so the Flyers were on to their second shootout in as many games.
Sean Couturier, Claude Giroux, and Jaromir Jagr failed to score on Pavelec in their attempts.
Ilya Bryzgalov, who had not made a single save going into Tuesday night's shootout, saved both Kyle Wellwood's and Blake Wheeler's attempts. But Bryzgalov was not able to save the third attempt by Bryan Little.
The Jets scored the lone goal in the shootout, and took a 2-1 win.
Bryzgalov actually had a very solid night, despite the shootout loss. He saved 23 of 24 shots, stoped the first two shootout attempts, and came so close to stopping the third.
Pavelec also played well in goal, making 27 of 28 saves for the Jets.
The Flyers are now 0-3 against the Jets this season, and 1-4 in the shootout.
Their home record is also not that good, going only 11-7-4 at home compared to 18-7-2 on the road.
The Nashville Predators come to the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night for the Flyer's net game.
