Above all else on Tuesday night, the Philadelphia Flyers needed to win.
It didn’t matter how, it didn’t matter why. Our boys in black and orange had to fight to extend their season, and they did exactly that, pulling off another overtime victory, earning a sixth game in this second round series against the New York Islanders.
Leading 3-1 with under five minutes to play, you’d think maybe the Flyers wouldn’t have needed overtime to force another contest on Thursday, but they once again blew a third period lead only to erase their failures in the extra session.
