See Flyers game-winning goal in OT by Cam York to send Penguins homes

Talk about perfect timing.

With the Penguins on their heels in overtime, the Philadelphia Flyers somehow found a way to put the puck in the back of the net to send Pittsburgh packing.

On his first career playoff goal, defenseman Cam York beat Artūrs Šilovs with the game-winning goal of Game 6 to send the Flyers to the second round of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.

See every angle of York's goal.

York couldn't have picked a better time to score his first overtime goal.

With the Penguins having most of the momentum through overtime, York put a wrist shot past Šilovs with only 2:28 left in overtime.

The team mobbed York before headed toward goalie Dan Vladar, who was phenomenal all game keeping the Pens scoreless to earn his second shutout of the series.

One lucky Flyers fan might have a piece of hockey history.

After scoring the overtime game-winning goal, York threw his stick into the stands as he celebrated while skating down the ice toward Vladar.
