Flyers’ Ivan Provorov forces Game Seven with double overtime goal

A broken stick ended up being the difference.

Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov scored in double overtime to force a Game Seven against the New York Islanders after Scott Mayfield broke his stick on the opposite end of the ice. Kevin Hayes ragged the puck into the offensive zone before finding Provorov wide open at the point with a centering pass. The Russian fired the puck past a screened Semyon Varlamov for the game-winner.

Oskar Lindblom plays in first game since completing cancer treatment

Oskar Lindblom played in Game Six against the New York Islanders tonight. It’s the Flyers forward’s first NHL game since December 7, 2019. The Flyers announced Lindblom’s return during warmups in an inspirational video.

Lindblom was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a form of bone cancer, on December 13. The 24-year-old Swede was tied for the team-lead in goals (11) and had 18 points in 30 games before learning of the diagnosis.

“My first thought was, ‘Can I play hockey anymore?’” Lindblom recalled to Sports Illustrated. “I don’t know if I can do anything else. That’s my thing. But then I realized, this is probably not about hockey anymore. I’ll just be happy if I can live like a normal person afterwards.”

Philadelphia Flyers and Vegas Golden Knights lock up number one seeds in East and West

After a wild Elimination Friday that saw five teams get axed from the loffs, the NHL had a quiet Saturday with only two games. Both of the matchups were important, however, as they decided the number one seeds in the Eastern and Western Conferences.

The Philadelphia Flyers will be the number one seed in the East, leapfrogging from fourth to first during round-robin play. The Flyers won all three games they played, tallying victories over Boston, Washington, and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Meanwhile, the Vegas Golden Knights will headline the West after scoring 15 total goals in their three games of the round-robin.

Good thing this isn’t the real playoffs: Flyers beat Caps 3-1

Not sure what

*gestures broadly towards the last 2.5 hours*

that was all about.

The Caps were just plain terrible against the Philadelphia Flyers in their second game of round-robin play, which is fake hockey and doesn’t matter, and yes this is how I have decided to rationalize this.

Scott Laughton put the Flyers up in the first period after a defensive-zone turnover that we will discuss. Travis Sandheim made it 2-0 in the second period during a rare moment when the Capitals were not on the penalty kill. The third period happened, unfortunately, bringing with it another goal by Laughton. With mercy, new boy Travis Boyd ended the shutout a few moments later.

Flyers beat Caps 3-1.

Caps vs Flyers pregame: Rockin’ round robin

Time to brush off the shootout loss to the Lightning, the Capitals are facing the Philadelphia Flyers in another round-robin matchup.

The Capitals have John Carlson down as a game-time decision, due to his injury from the exhibition game, and they will also be without Lars Eller. But don’t worry about Eller, it’s because he’s gonna be a papa again! Eller left the bubble, so Travis Boyd will be taking his spot. Wishing the Eller family all the best on the delivery of their new tiger cub.

The puck drops at 4 PM and Peter will meet you back here for another impeccable recap.

Penguins forget how to hockey, get whistled for 10 players on the ice

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers played the NHL’s first game since the league suspended the season on March 12 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Playing in a bubble in Toronto, the two cross-state rivals renewed their rivalry north of the border at Scotiabank Arena.

During the second period, the Penguins literally forgot how to hockey, as two full lines of players were on the ice at the same time.

Flyers beat Caps 5-2 🗑️🗡🩸🤮🚽🚮

The Washington Capitals’ big home game against the red-hot division rival Philadelphia Flyers did not go as we hoped. The Caps got an early lead, but the Flyers were relentless, adding pressure as the game went on. It was more than the Caps could handle.

Lars Eller kicked off the scoring with a lovely rush goal, but the Flyers responded with three goals in the second period — a rebound from Travis Konecny, a layup from Kevin Hayes after a power-play expired, and then an odd-man rush finished off by Tyler Pitlick. Garnet Hathaway notched a goal of his own, but Ivan Provorov hit the back of the net in the third, putting the Caps into a two-goal hole they could not escape. Scott Laughton made it a laugher with a deflection off Orlov’s stick.

Caps lose.
