Oskar Lindblom heard the sound of his Philadelphia Flyers teammates tapping the ice with their sticks as he returned to practice.

Lindblom turned 24 on Saturday, and a day later, he received rousing applause from the Flyers hours before they prepared for their playoff game against Montreal.

"Now I'm here, and I'm happier than ever," Lindblom said Sunday.

A few hours later, Jakub Voracek scored his first goal of the postseason, and Carter Hart made 23 saves en route to a shutout as the Flyers defeated the Canadiens 1-0 to take a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference first round.

After six hours, five overtimes and a combined 151 shots on goal, the Tampa Bay Lightning won an epic Game 1 against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night.

Brayden Point scored 150 minutes, 27 seconds into the contest to give Tampa Bay a 3-2 win.
