"It was a great shot," Arturs Silovs said of the Cam York snap shot from the right point that ended the Penguins' season Wednesday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena. "Great screen. Post and in. Nothing to say about it."
It'd be the lone goal in the Penguins' 1-0 overtime loss.
"It was a great play by (Matvei Michkov) on the blue line there," York said. "As soon as I got it, I looked up and (Noah Cates) was net-front. The way the game was going, we knew it was going to be a greasy one. Just wanted to get it to the net, and it found a hole."
There was a little more to it: Cates put the shaft of his stick into Ryan Shea to move him, then was free to set his screen in front of Silovs.
The Penguins were the better team in overtime, outshooting the Flyers 10-6, and owning territorial play. They outshot the Flyers 42-32, overall. But with the way both Silovs and Dan Vladar were playing, it was always going to take a "greasy" one like this to break the ice.

For sure, it'd take a 'greasy' goal
