US EditionFlyers top Bruins 2-1 in OT, inch closer to playoff return

- The 19-year-old Martone recently completed his season at Michigan State and arrived as an immediate offensive boost for the Flyers, who needed to reach Eastern Conference playoff position for the first time since Jan. 12.
- Pavel Zacha scored his 29th goal of the season past Dan Vladar to tie the game early in the third period, but Martone capitalized on a man advantage following David Pastrnak's hooking penalty with 2:29 left in overtime.
