Porter Martone kept the Flyers' playoff hopes alive, scoring the winning goal in overtime of Sunday's 2-1 win over the Bruins.
Why it matters: The Flyers, long Philly's forgotten sports team, are on the cusp of making the NHL playoffs for the first time since 2020.
Driving the news: Martone's first career goal boosted the Flyers into third place in the Metropolitan Division with five games to go.
Catch up quick: The Flyers have been a down-and-out franchise since losing the Stanley Cup to Chicago in 2010, winning only three playoff series since then, per the AP.
The bottom line: If the Flyers can hold on down the final stretch of the season, Gritty-loving Philly's going to be collectively hitting the Griddy dance.
What's next: The Flyers are back in action Tuesday at 7pm against the New Jersey Devils.
