Porter Martone Does It Again With A Game-Winning Goal In Second-Straight Playoff Game
/Porter Martone was not satisfied with one playoff game-winning goal, so he did it again for the Philadelphia Flyers to take Game Two for a 2-0 series lead against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night.

His goal came over halfway through the second period as Travis Konecny’s one-timed shot was deflected but went right to Martone’s stick who backhanded it in for the first goal of the game.
“We worked them down low and the puck found me back door and you know, I just buried it,” explained Martone. “That’s a big one for us.”
The Flyers defeated the Penguins 3-0, which makes Martone’s first goal the game-winner. He becomes the first teenager in NHL history to score the game-winning goal in each of his first two career Stanley Cup playoff games.
Martone has six goals and six assists for 12 points in his first 11 NHL games (regular season and playoffs).
