Flyers' Manning redirects GWG into his own net with 5.6 seconds left

Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports

The Philadelphia Flyers came within 5.6 seconds of collecting a very important point in the standings on Saturday afternoon - and then this happened.

Late in the third period of a 1-1 contest, Boston Bruins forward Drew Stafford threw a puck toward the Philadelphia net, where Flyers defenseman Brandon Manning inadvertently redirected the puck past goaltender Steve Mason to give the Bruins a 2-1 victory.

The goal was Stafford's second as a Bruin and his fourth point in as many games. More importantly, the win gives Boston a crucial two points as it looks to solidify its own playoff spot.
