Keith Primeau scored in the fifth overtime to help the Flyers win a second-straight game in Pittsburgh, bringing the Eastern Conference semifinal series level at two games apiece.

The crazy thing is that the Flyers lost the first two games in the series, at home, scoring just one goal in the process. Then they beat the Penguins 4-3 in overtime of game three, in Pittsburgh, before pulling off the five-OT win just two nights later.
