Getty Images VOORHEES, N.J.- When the Flyers went down 0-3 to the Boston Bruins, it never felt like this club was just one loss away from packing for summer vacation. Now, with history still against them, the Flyers are within one win of pushing this series to an epic game 7 finale. However, there’s a new spin to this whole possibility. A new Flyers starting goalie, kind of. After starting netminder Brian Boucher went down last night in the second period with a grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee,  a familiar face found himself back in a big spot for the Flyers. That man being, Michael Leighton. Leighton, who just returned to the Flyers’ bench after being out of the lineup since mid-March with a high ankle sprain, is once again the man with all the pressure on his shoulders. “As soon as I got hurt, I told my wife that my goal is to get back in, whether it’s first round, second round, third round…” said Leighton after practice today
