Dan Vladar stopped Carolina's fourth shootout try and Tyson Foerster buried the winner, lifting the Philadelphia Flyers to a 3-2 shootout win that clinched their first playoff berth since 2020 and set up a first-round series with Pittsburgh. Trailing 2-0, Philadelphia rallied on goals by Matvei Michkov and Trevor Zegras before an orange-clad crowd roared as "CLINCHED!" flashed on the big screen. First-year coach Rick Tocchet and GM Danny Briere have steered a youth-driven rebuild, while Foerster's return from a long injury added a twist to the night. Carolina secured the East's top seed with the point.
