    The Flyers’ farfetched comeback is nearly complete.

    Michael Leighton stopped 30 shots in his first start in nearly two months to help streaking Philadelphia beat the Boston Bruins 2-1 on Wednesday night and force a seventh game in Boston on Friday night.

    “It’s not always the easiest route, but we seem to find a way,” Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger said.

    Philadelphia’s season appeared over after it lost the first three games of the series. Not now. The Flyers are on the brink of history—and a spot in the Eastern Conference finals against Montreal.

    The 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs and the 1975 New York Islanders are the only NHL teams to overcome 3-0 deficits to win a best-of-seven playoff series. The Flyers are the first team to trail 3-0 and force a Game 7 since the ’75 Islanders.
