The play was so nice that the Flyers did it twice. Well, three times to be exact.
With the Flyers on the power play, Jake Voracek kept firing pucks in from the right side. And Brayden Schenn kept depositing them behind Kari Lehtonen into the net. And the hats rained down onto the ice at Wells Fargo Center:

The Flyers were trailing with four minutes left in Saturday's matinee against the Dallas Stars, but as has been the case for a few weeks, they just find a way to win. This time, Schenn scored a couple of goals with the man advantage within 90 seconds of each other, making that 2-1 deficit a 3-2 lead just like that. And the NHL's hottest team stayed that way with a 4-2 victory over the Stars.
Devin Shore scored two goals for the Stars, and Voracek added an empty-netter for the Flyers to seal their eight victory in a row, the first time that has happened since January 2002.
After a rough start to the season, the Orange and Black are red hot. They will try to extend their streak to nine games tomorrow night in Detroit against the Red Wings.
