The game was very much in doubt late in the third period, as the Philadelphia Flyers, who hadn’t lost in regulation since February 1st, trailed the Montreal Canadiens, a team that had lost its previous six road games, by a score of 2-1 with under two minutes remaining in the third period.
Then came Jake Voracek. Jakub tied the game with 1:25 left in regulation, and then scored the game winner on his second chance of the extra frame. It had been a frustrating night for the league’s assist leader, having passed on several high danger shooting opportunities and turning the puck over at a high rate.
