Late Bruins goal deals a blow to Flyers and playoff hopes

BOSTON - The Flyers' season is on life support.

Drew Stafford scored on a long shot with 5.6 seconds left to give Boston a stunning 2-1 win at TD Garden on Saturday afternoon.

Stafford's lob to the net appeared to deflect off Brandon Manning and past Steve Mason.

The Flyers, who went 1-2-1 on the road trip, have one win in Boston in the last five years.

The Flyers needed the win much more than Boston, but it was the Bruins who showed more desperation during the earlier stages of the third period. The Flyers were outshot, 7-0, in the first 12 minutes of the period.
