Porter Martone made history Monday night in Game 2 of the Philadelphia Flyers’ first-round playoff series vs. the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The 19-year-old became the 12th teenager in NHL history to score a goal in each of his first two playoff games, and the first Flyers player to accomplish the milestone.
Martone gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead late in the second period when he capitalized on a shot by Travis Konecny that was deflected off the stick of Penguins defenseman Ryan Shea. Garnet Hathaway and Luke Glendening added goals as the Flyers beat the Penguins, 3-0, to take a 2-0 series lead back to Philadelphia for Game 3 Wednesday night.
Martone also became just the third teenager in Flyers history with multiple goals in a single playoff year. The others were Dainius Zubrus in 1997 and Sean Couturier in 2012.
Martone joins Zubrus as the second teenager in franchise history to score in consecutive playoff games, and he’s the first Flyers teenager to score in back-to-back road games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Martone also became the seventh rookie teenager in NHL history to score in back-to-back road games in the playoffs.
Martone’s first playoff goal came in Philadelphia’s 3-2 Game 1 victory over the Penguins on Saturday night.
Martone, the team’s first round pick in the 2025 NHL draft, joined the Flyers at the end of the regular season and made an immediate impact.
