Wayne Simmonds made Brent Burns pay for a rare miscue.
The Philadelphia Flyers forward stole the puck from the San Jose Sharks defenseman - who's considered a Norris Trophy favorite - and made no mistake on the breakaway opportunity in overtime Saturday.
A Flyers home win over the Sharks was a long time coming.
The last time #Flyers beat #Sharks at home was in 2000. Tocchet had 2 goals in that 4-3 W and Cechmanek was the winning goalie. n
