Flyers vs Penguins highlights

What's next for the Flyers?

The Flyers advance to face the Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes won three of the four games in the season series, and each game was settled after 60 minutes.

What's next for the Penguins?

Evgeni Malkin, part of the Big 3 with Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang, is the biggest-named unrestricted free agent. Others are 33-goal scorer Anthony Mantha, Connor Dewar, Noel Acciari, Kevin Hayes and goalie Stuart Skinner. The Penguins must re-sign restricted free agent goalie Arturs Silovs, so Skinner might not be back, especially since Sergei Murashov is waiting in the wings.

Game 6 recap

Cam York gets winning goal

The winning goal came from an unexpected source as Cam York beat Arturs Silovs through a screen in overtime. The defenseman had four goals in the regular season, with his previous one coming on Jan. 21. The career-long Flyer is in his first playoffs and had a goal and an assist in six games.

He said he made the decision to shoot after seeing a teammate going toward the net front.

"We knew it was going to be a greasy one and man that felt really good to see it go in," York told TNT after the game.
