For the Flyers, there is a magic formula to success: Win the special teams battle.
Simple as that.
They are 3-0 in when they have outscored opponents in special teams, including Monday's 3-2 overtime victory over Carolina. Rookie defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere won it with a power-play goal, the first game-winning tally of his young career.
Gostisbehere has energized the Flyers, who have points in four of the five games (2-1-2) he has played since being recalled from the Phantoms.
The special teams also provided energy Monday, accounting for all three of their goals.
