NEWARK, N.J. – The close-out kids continued to build their case as playoff worthy Saturday night, rallying from an early road deficit and suffocating the surprising New Jersey Devils in the third period for their 12th victory in their last 17 games.
Leading by one goal after two periods, the Flyers’ 5-3 victory at the Prudential Center marked the seventh time in that stretch that they took a lead of one or two goals into the third period and emerged with two points. In three other games, they rallied to win games in which they were either tied or behind.
