The Philadelphia Flyers went into play Tuesday with a 0.2 percent chance to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs, according to Sports Club Stats. And they'll live another day thanks to Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson.

With Philly trailing 2-1 with six minutes left in the third period, Anderson put the puck perfectly on Jordan Weal's stick. Only problem: Weal's a Flyer.

Making matters worse, Anderson was behind his net, making Weal's gift even better.

The forward made no mistake, the game eventually went to a shootout, where the Flyers prevailed.
