WASHINGTON — The surging Flyers moved into a playoff spot Sunday afternoon for the first time since Nov. 10.
Twenty-seven seconds into overtime, Travis Konecny scored from the high slot after making a slick move around a defender, lifting the Flyers to a 2-1 win over powerful Washington at Capital One Arena.
Konecny’s shot appeared to deflect off the Capitals’ T.J. Oshie, sending the Flyers to their seventh win in their last eight games.
The Flyers were nine points out of a playoff spot when they lost their 10th straight on Dec. 2. Since then, they are 15-5-1.
