Philadelphia rallies again for a 5-4 win over slumping Edmonton.
PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Flyers are finally making their comebacks count.
Nolan Patrick scored 2:01 into overtime and the Flyers rallied past the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 Saturday, extending their winning streak to a season-best seven games.
Earlier this season, the Flyers made it a habit to come from behind in games only to lose late in regulation, in overtime or in the shootout.
Not anymore.
This marked the fourth time during their winning streak that Flyers overcame a deficit. This time, they were down 4-2 in the third period.
“That just goes to show how guys are invested right now and how much we’re willing to pay the price to succeed,” said Flyers goalie Carter Hart, who made 40 saves and won his sixth consecutive start.
“Guys are going all out right now and we want to keep this thing rolling.
