PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Cam York scored 17:32 into overtime and chucked his stick
into the crowd in a wild celebration to send the Philadelphia Flyers into the
second round for the first time in six years with a 1-0 Game 6 win over the
Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night.
The Flyers are set for second round showdown against Carolina.
Dan Vladar was again sensational in the net and stopped all 42 shots and
prevented the Penguins from playing for a shot at playoff history.
Sidney Crosby and the Penguins tried to become just the fifth team in NHL
history to win a series after trailing 3-0. They've won two straight games to
force Game 6.
It's the Flyers who are moving on in coach Rick Tocchet's first season.
Arturs Silovs made 31 saves.
The last playoff game to head to overtime scoreless was Winnipeg and Edmonton
in a 2021 first-round series. The Jets won 1-0 in the first OT.
The Flyers are in the playoffs for the first time since 2020, when they last
reached the second round in the bubble season. They played their first series
at home since 2018.
