The Philadelphia Flyers built a three-goal lead in the first period Wednesday, only to see it disappear by the end of regulation. And if they had lost, they would have fallen behind 2-0 in their second-round series against the New York Islanders, a hole they certainly didn't want to be in.
Fortunately for Philadelphia, it finally broke through in overtime. Philippe Myers scored 2 minutes, 41 seconds into OT, and the Flyers secured a 4-3 win to even their series against the Islanders at 1-1. It was the first goal Philadelphia had scored since the first 15:09 of the game.
