Rookie Nets Late Game-Winner to Secure Flyers' Game 1 Victory

Porter Martone lived up to his billing as a playoff difference-maker, scoring the decisive goal in the Philadelphia Flyers' 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 19-year-old rookie forward beat Stuart Skinner with a wrist shot with just 2:37 remaining in regulation to provide the necessary insurance at PPG Paints Arena. Martone’s performance validated pre-series expectations, helping the Flyers pull off a stunner in their return to the postseason competition.
