After 81 games in the 2009-10 NHL season, the regular-season finale between the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Rangers held a spot for the winner in the playoffs, while the loser was going home.
Fittingly, both teams came into the contest with 86 points, setting up the playoff-like, Game 7 type of clash and atmosphere. The rivalry between the two Atlantic division teams didn't disappoint, and the game lived up to the playoff berth at stake.
And on that late Sunday afternoon in the middle of April, the Flyers pulled out a thrilling 2-1 shootout victory at home to close out the regular season. The win catapulted them into the playoffs and served as a catalyst to what became a miraculous playoff run for the franchise.
