PHILADELPHIA – Chris Pronger scored with 2.1 seconds remaining to lift the Philadelphia Flyers to a come-from-behind, 3-2 win against the Blackhawks on Saturday.
The defenseman took a pass from Claude Giroux and beat a diving Cristobal Huet to the glove side to cap a flurry of scoring that saw all five goals tallied in the final period.
The Flyers had tied the game with 2:04 left in the third period when Scott Hartnell corralled a Kimo Timonen pass near the blue line and beat Huet's stick side for his first goal since Jan. 30.
Simon Gagne opened the scoring for Philadelphia 1:18 into the third, getting his sixth goal in seven games when he stopped a Dan Carcillo centering pass in the left circle and fired a wrist shot past a diving Huet.
Kris Versteeg tied the game 1:43 later, after a Flyers penalty by Danny Briere set up a Hawks power play. Goalie Michael Leighton stopped Marian Hossa's shot, but Versteeg poked in the rebound for his third goal in four games.
Hossa gave the Hawks the lead after taking a feed from Troy Brouwer near the right face-off circle and rifled a shot high to Leighton's stick side with 7:09 left in the game.
