Flyers Beat Sabres in Overtime To Force Game 7
The Buffalo Sabres twice had two goal leads, 2-0 and 3-1 but couldn't hold on. The Philadelphia Flyers rallied back twice to tie the game then finally won it 5-5 in overtime on a goal by Ville Leino.
Rob Niedermeyer opened the scoring early in the first period, Thomas Vanek scored twice on the power play and after the Flyers came back to tie it, Nathan Gerbe put Buffalo in the lead again.
Scott Hartnell's third period goal tied it 4-4 forcing overtime where the Flyers won it.
