The Flyers were in another tight game Monday night.
And they came out on the winning end again. They beat the Penguins, 2-1, in overtime at the Wells Fargo Center.
Sean Couturier scored the OT winner off a feed from Travis Konecny. Two days ago, Couturier scored the shootout winner to give the Flyers a 4-3 decision over Pittsburgh.
Tyson Foerster scored the other goal Monday night for the Flyers (13-10-2), who have gone past regulation in four of their last five games.

With four goals in the last three games for Foerster, it sure looks like his confidence is sky high right now.
“I think anytime you can score in this league, your confidence is going to rise,” Foerster said.
• Carter Hart was locked in, recording 31 saves, two of them in OT.
The 25-year-old had some timely ones in the second period when the Flyers got stuck in their defensive zone for a long…
