Paul Holmgren offered Eric Lindros a comeback in the 2011-12 season, giving the then-38-year-old one last shot at a Stanley Cup.

For the second time in as many nights on Thursday, the Flyers found themselves furiously rallying, down by a goal with an empty net late in the third period.

Fresh off the heels of their 4-3 overtime thriller on Wednesday against Detroit, the Flyers head up the New Jersey Turnpike and into Brooklyn for their first matchup against the New York Islanders this season.

Jakub Voracek found a way to put the Flyers over the hump, netting the overtime winner at 1:41 of the extra period.

One thing the Flyers haven’t done this season is win consecutive games, and the opportunity is quite present against a Red Wings club that has lost their last two games and has scored just four goals over their past three matchups.

For now, though, Read’s off to an incredible start. He’s tallied five goals in the Flyers’ first seven games of the season — nearly half of what he registered last year alone (11).

The Orange and Black now return home for the latter half of a back-to-back matchup, this time taking on the Buffalo Sabres. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m.

One particular Flyer will have the chance to make his own stamp on the franchise as the season rolls along. Steve Mason could find himself as the third-winningest goaltender in franchise history by season’s end.

Michael Del Zotto will miss the next four-to-five weeks with a lower-body injury, GM Ron Hextall announced Friday.

The Flyers on Tuesday announced eight roster cuts, sending players back to their respective junior leagues.
