The Flyers' power play, last in the NHL, has been abysmal most of the season, but it awakened at an opportune time Thursday night at TD Garden.
As a result, the Flyers extended their winning streak to a season-high six games as they rallied past Boston, 3-2, in overtime....
The Flyers faced a 2-1 deficit heading into the third. They had won just one of 24 games (1-20-3) when trailing after two periods, and they inched to within nine points of a playoff spot.
“I thought we worked really hard as a team," Scott Laughton said after the Flyers outshot the Bruins, 41-25, “and we got rewarded. After the second period, the message was to do the same things we were doing, and Oskar comes up with a big goal."
“We came out flat a little bit, but we stuck with the game plan and the guys battled tonight,” said captain Claude Giroux, who tied the game at 1-1 by scoring on a breakaway with 43.2 seconds left in a Boston-dominated first period. “These kind of wins feel a little better.”
