The Philadelphia Flyers played well for two-and-a-half periods and were leading the East Division-leading New York Islanders 3-0 with about 12:10 left to play in the third period.
Then, in an all too familiar scene, one bad thing happened and, suddenly, the score was tied with 5:33 left in regulation.

New York had secured at least one point in 15 straight at Nassau Coliseum before Oskar’s tie-breaking tally.
