Porter Martone's OT Power-Play Goal Lifts Philadelphia Flyers Past Boston Bruins, Keeps Playoff Push Alive
The 19-year-old rookie’s overtime winner gave Philadelphia its first NHL lead in more than two months and kept its playoff push alive.
- On Sunday, Philadelphia Flyers forward Porter Martone scored his first NHL goal at 2:31 of overtime, lifting the team to a 2-1 victory over the Boston Bruins. Martone became the first player in Flyers history to net his first career goal in overtime.
- The victory moved the Philadelphia Flyers into Eastern Conference playoff position for the first time since Jan. 12, ending months of playoff uncertainty. The team is fighting to end a postseason drought that has persisted since 2020.
- Christian Dvorak opened the scoring on a pass from Martone early in the first period, but Boston Bruins forward Pavel Zacha tied the game 1-1 only 35 seconds into the third. Goaltender Dan Vladar made 18 saves for Philadelphia.
- The victory allowed Philadelphia to jump over the idle New York Islanders in the standings on the same day the Islanders fired head coach Patrick Roy. The Flyers moved into third place in the Metropolitan Division.
- With five games remaining, Philadelphia faces a critical stretch to secure their postseason fate. The schedule includes road games against New Jersey, Detroit, and Winnipeg, plus season-ending home matchups against Carolina and Montreal.
