The Toronto Maple Leafs did their best to spoil Philadelphia'sBrett Hull Jersey playoff chances until the final minute of regulation.

Jake Gardiner scored a power-play goal at 2:51 of overtime to give the Maple Leafs a 4-3 victory over the Flyers on Thursday night. But Philadelphia maintained control of its playoff hopes by earning a point thanks to Wayne Simmonds' tying goal with 58 seconds left.

The Flyers are a point behind http://www.officialbluesteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Brian_Elliott_JerseyBoston and Detroit for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia would secure a playoff berth by winning its last two games. The Bruins and Red Wings each have one game left and one of them is guaranteed a playoff berth that goes to the third-place team in the Atlantic Division.

If either Boston or Detroit loses Saturday afternoon, the Flyers would clinch with a win at home over Pittsburgh later in the day.

''If you would've told us two months ago, we'd be in this position, we'd take it,'' Flyers captain Claude Giroux said.

After goalie Steve Mason was pulled for the extra skater, Simmonds redirected Mark Streit's slap http://www.officialbluesteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_David_Backes_Jerseyshot for his career-best 30th goal, helping the Flyers rally for a crucial point.

The Leafs won it after Andrew MacDonald went to the penalty box for tripping. Gardiner ripped a slap shot past Mason to win it for the Leafs. The Flyers were upset the goal wasn't disallowed because of goaltender interference, but a video review made it stand.

''It seems every game the rule is different,''Jordan Eberle Jersey said Jakub Voracek, who had his own goal nullified because of goalie interference on Giroux in the second period.

William Nylander, Colin Greening and Michael Grabner also scored for Toronto, which will miss the playoffs for the third straight year and 10th time in the past 11 seasons. Jonathan Bernier made 41 saves in his final start.

''It was a really tough season for me, but I played every game hard and it meant http://www.officialoilersteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Justin_Schultz_Jerseya lot to me to show I have a lot of character and to finish strong,'' said Bernier, who was demoted to the minors earlier in the season.

The Leafs are tied with Edmonton for fewest points in the NHL with one game remaining for each team. If the Leafs finish last, they'll have a 20 percent chance of winning the draft lottery and landing the No. 1 overall pick. If they finish behind the Oilers, those odds drop to 13.5 percent.
