Martone, a 19-year-old rookie forward and the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, became the 12th teenager in NHL history, and the first for Philadelphia, to score in each of his first two postseason games.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I\u2019ve got to give a lot of credit to the guys in this room,\u201d Martone said. \u201cThey\u2019ve taught me a lot, not just on the hockey side, but the life side. I\u2019ve said this before, but I think I made the jump (from college) because I thought I was ready and I thought I could help this team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Garnet Hathaway<\/a> had a goal and an assist for the Flyers, the No. 3 seed from the Metropolitan Division.\u00a0<\/p>\n Stuart Skinner<\/a> made 20 saves for the Penguins, the No. 2 seed from the Metropolitan.\u00a0<\/p>\n Philadelphia leads the best-of-7 series 2-0 and will head home to Xfinity Mobile Arena for Game 3 on Wednesday (7 p.m. ET; HBO MAX, SN-PIT, truTV, TNT, NBCSP, SNP, SNO, SNE, SN360, TVAS).<\/p>\n \u201cThere should be frustration. (We) should be frustrated,\u201d Pittsburgh coach Dan Muse said. \u201cWe just lost two games at home. And so, with frustration comes how are you going to respond? How are we going to respond? And so, I would hope every single guy in that room, the entire staff, nobody\u2019s happy right now. Nobody should be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n After the Penguins managed two shots on goal in the first period, and none on three power plays, Bryan Rust<\/a> came close to putting them ahead at 4:12 of the second, but he hit the right post with a spinning wrist shot off a pass from Sidney Crosby<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I think we’ve been in some tough spots all year,\u201d Crosby said. \u201cWe’ve always responded really well to adversity. It seems like it’s brought out the best in all of us. I think that getting on the road and having a situation like this hopefully brings out the best in us again here.” \u00a0<\/p>\n Martone then gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead at 13:39 with a backhand from the bottom of the left circle off a cross-ice pass from Travis Konecny<\/a>\u00a0that ricocheted off Penguins defenseman Ryan Shea<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s not a lot of guys that can come in and make the impact that (Martone) has,\u201d Konecny said. \u201cEspecially in the games leading up to making the playoffs, like how important those were, and for him to be able to jump in, I think it just speaks to, not his hockey ability, but to how he wants to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Martone, a 19-year-old rookie forward and the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, became the 12th…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":597247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-597246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=597246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=597246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=597246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=597246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
