He became the first player in Flyers franchise history to score his debut NHL goal in overtime (and the second-youngest in NHL history to do so at 19 years, 161 days old). nhl.com<br \/>\nStrong start: Through his first seven NHL games (as of April 12, 2026), Martone has recorded 3 goals and 4 assists for 7 points. This places him with the second-most points by any Flyers player through their first seven games since the 2000-01 season. He also leads all NHL rookies in points since his debut.<br \/>\nMulti-point games: He became the fifth Flyers rookie in the past 40 years to record multiple multi-point games within his first six NHL contests. His latest contributions (including a power-play goal and assist in a recent loss to Detroit) have helped keep the Flyers in the playoff hunt in the Metropolitan Division. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"265\" data-attachment-id=\"32320\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/flyersnittygritty.com\/summit-logo-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flyersnittygritty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/summit-logo.jpg?fit=768%2C265&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"768,265\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"summit-logo\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flyersnittygritty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/summit-logo.jpg?fit=640%2C221&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775998635_403_summit-logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32320\"  \/>215-752-0560 WWW.SUMMITPUBLICADJUSTERS.COM<\/p>\n<p>In the Flyers\u2019 recent 7-1 rout of the Winnipeg Jets (April 11), Martone scored again (his third goal), with chemistry showing alongside veterans like Travis Konecny and Christian Dvorak.
