Flyers, inspired by Sean Couturier, come of age in Game 5 win over Penguins | Marcus Hayes

PITTSBURGH — They scored first. They scored shorthanded. The captain scored.

The comeback kid scored, the winner, from 50 feet away, against Matt Murray, the best playoff goalie of the last two years.

The Flyers discovered something about themselves in their Game 5 win over the Penguins. The score was 4-2, but the effect was palpable.

They discovered their heart.

It was framed by a resurrection. Another resurrection, that is; this one, by Sean Couturier.

Back in 2011, star defenseman Chris Pronger, the heart and soul of those Flyers teams, had missed 21 games with a broken hand.
