Cam York scored at 17:32 of overtime to lift the Philadelphia Flyers into the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with a 1-0 victory over the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 6 on Wednesday.

After winning the first three games of the best-of-seven series, the Flyers dropped Games 4 and 5 and struggled to generate consistent offense in Game 6. Still, York delivered in the biggest moment, scoring his first career playoff goal to send Philadelphia into a second-round matchup with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Following a faceoff win in the offensive zone, York fired a wrist shot from the right point that threaded through traffic, struck the right post, and slipped past Pittsburgh goaltender Arturs Silovs. Silovs finished with 31 saves, while Flyers goalie Dan Vladar stopped 42 shots to record his second shutout of the series.

Late in overtime, Philadelphia nearly ended it earlier when Porter Martone’s shot toward an open net was blocked by Silovs’ stick lying on the ice. The Flyers, however, secured the win less than a minute later on York’s decisive strike.
