Samuel Ersson blanks Devils to keep Flyers' slim playoff hopes alive in 1
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Forget flipping games on TV, scrolling social media, reading the ticker or most traditional means of scoreboard watching in the NHL.
The Philadelphia Flyers are ready to tune out the noise — and can only hope when they tune back in, Game 82 will mean something to their playoff fortunes.
“We’re not going to look at the scoreboard,” coach John Tortorella said. “Maybe some people do. I’m not.”
Travis Konecny scored a short-handed breakaway goal and Samuel Ersson stopped 20 shots to keep the resolute Flyers’ miniscule postseason hopes alive with one game left to play in a 1-0 win over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night.
“I’m just glad they showed who they are,” Tortorella said. “They’ve been that all year long.”
The Flyers entered Saturday with two games left while Pittsburgh, Washington and Detroit all had three games remaining as they competed for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
