Voracek’s 2 late goals rally Flyers past Canadiens in OT
PHILADELPHIA — Suddenly short-handed, the Philadelphia Flyers aren’t going to let a few injuries stop them.
Jakub Voracek scored the tying goal with 1:25 left in regulation and then got the game-winner 1:26 into overtime to lift the Flyers to a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.
Voracek also had an assist and Nolan Patrick had the other goal for Philadelphia, which improved to 7-0-2 in its last nine games. The Flyers, third in the Metropolitan Division, pulled two points behind second-place Pittsburgh and three behind first-place Washington.
“That’s a nice way to get two points,” Philadelphia coach Dave Hakstol said.
