Brad Shaw explains why Ryan Poehling was on the ice in overtime

The Philadelphia Flyers scratched and clawed their way to one single point on Tuesday night against the New York Rangers, but it could have been more.

After heading into second intermission with a 2-1 lead, the Flyers decided to open the floodgates and just about everyone on both rosters managed to score in that final frame. Two goals from the Rangers to earn a lead and then back-and-forth tallies resulted in a 5-5 draw and a forced overtime period.

Neither team was playing all that well — the Flyers were letting the top Rangers forwards shoot from midrange and Sam Ersson let in some duds, and the Rangers were just not defending their net well enough and the Flyers got a couple of dirty, gritty goals to tie the game on multiple occasions.
