Cates' second goal broke a 3-3 tie at 14:09 of the third period. He won a race for a loose puck at center ice, tipped it past Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov, gloved it down, skated in on Bobrovsky and lifted a backhand under the crossbar.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Noah Cates scored two goals and the Philadelphia Flyers rallied from behind twice to beat the Florida Panthers 4-3 on Monday night.
Ristolainen tapped a loose puck just across the goal line with 4:34 remaining in overtime. Detroit defenseman Moritz Seider tried to clear the puck from in front of the goal but happened to pin it against the post, allowing Ristolainen to have the easy tap-in.
Cates only had five points in his first 24 games, but he’s been on fire since gaining chemistry with wingers Tyson Foerster and Bobby Brink. The trio have combined to become the Flyers’ best line and one of the best lines in the entire league in terms of driving play and generating chances.
