RALEIGH http://www.officiallightningprostore.com/authentic-adidas-mikhail-sergachev-jersey , N.C. (AP) took advantage of another third-period meltdown by the Carolina Hurricanes to keep their hold on third-place in the Metropolitan Division.Valterri Filppula scored the tiebreaking goal on a breakaway with 5:49 left, and the Flyers scored four times in the third period to beat the scuffling Hurricanes 4-2 on Saturday night.Travis Konecny and Jakub Voracek also scored as the Flyers had three goals in a 5:52 span to rally for the win. Michael Raffl added an empty-netter, Wayne Simmonds had two assists and Alex Lyon stopped 23 shots.Filppula’s breakaway goal snapped a 2-2 tie and secured a needed victory for the Flyers, who entered on a 1-6-1 skid. Philadelphia, which began the day in third place in the Metropolitan Division, moved back into that spot after New Jersey had leapfrogged ahead earlier in the day.Columbus, which also won, is tied with the Philadelphia but the Flyers hold the tiebreaker.”Just to be able to stay with it through the third period and get it done says a lot for our group,” Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said. ”We needed a win for a lot of different reasons. We needed the two points in every respect.”Jaccob Slavin and Jordan Staal scored and Cam Ward made 23 saves for the Hurricanes, who have lost five of six.Carolina suffered its second straight third-period collapse. It allowed five goals in the final 10 minutes to Boston on Tuesday night to blow a 4-1 lead, and gave up four goals in the final 12 minutes to the Flyers to blow leads of 1-0 and 2-1.”It’s extremely frustrating,” Slavin said. ”We were the better team I think both games. Those are crucial points that we needed. I don’t know if I can put my finger on it. We have to play a full 60 (minutes) and we haven’t put that in the last two games.”Carolina led 1-0 on Staal’s first-period goal most of the game before a late outburst of scoring in the third. Konecny’s deflection in front of the net tied it at 1-all with 11:49 left Nikita Kucherov Jersey , but the Hurricanes quickly responded with a wrist shot by Slavin that put Carolina back on top with just under 10 minutes remaining.It didn’t last long, as two defensive breakdowns gave the Flyers the opening they needed for a comeback.First, Voracek slipped in uncovered to the Hurricanes crease, accepted a pass from the corner and stuffed a backhander in around Ward to make it 2-2 with 8:02 remaining.Shortly after, Filppula got behind the Hurricanes’ defense, took a long pass from Simmonds at center ice, and finished his breakaway with a forehand wrister that got under Ward’s blocker for the winner.”This should give us a lot of confidence today,” Filppula said. ”Pretty good comeback. Nice to get two points.”For the Hurricanes, it was two blown assignments where a man was left wide open, an echo of the problems that plagued them in their previous collapse.They are now 3-9-2 in their last 14 games, falling from playoff position in the Eastern Conference to 11 points back with 11 games to play.”There’s mistakes where we’re trying too hard sometimes,” Staal said. ”Mistakes that shouldn’t happen. And there’s been too many of those. We have to clean those up and take some pride in our game.”NOTES: The Flyers earned only their second regulation victory in their last 10 games. … Teuvo Teravainen and Sebastian Aho each had an assist to extend their point streaks to four games for the Hurricanes. … NHL hits leaders Robert Hagg (lower body injury) missed his fourth straight game for the Flyers.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Jonathan Marchessault had never attempted a penalty shot in his NHL career.He made his first one count Sunday night.Marchessault earned a penalty shot after being hooked by Mark Stone on what would have been a breakaway Ondrej Palat Jersey , and beat goalie Craig Anderson to lift the Vegas Golden Knights to a 4-3 overtime victory over the Ottawa Senators.“I had one in the AHL, I think I did like almost the same move, I just went high glove,” said Marchessault, who leads Vegas with 11 points this season. “I kind of knew a little bit what I was going to do, I just waiting … I was able to put it where I wanted it.”The Golden Knights rallied from trailing 2-0 early and avoided their second three-game losing streak, after consecutive losses at home.Alex Tuch scored two goals and Ryan Reaves added his third of the season for Vegas, while Marc-Andre Fleury made 19 saves.Matt Duchene, Bobby Ryan and Ryan Dzingel scored for the Senators, while Anderson made 49 saves.The Golden Knights outshot Ottawa, 53-22. In their first 10 games, the Golden Knights had 37 or more shots on goal just four times. They had 37 shots through two periods.“Things weren’t going well for us the first half of the game Ryan Callahan Jersey ,” Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said. “We were working hard, everything was going well except the puck wasn’t going in the net and we found ourselves down 2-0. … If we would have lost tonight, I would have been upset with not getting the two points, but the way we played was outstanding.”The victory, however, didn’t come without the Golden Knights losing another player to injury for the second consecutive game. After losing forward Max Pacioretty, who left Friday’s game after being drilled by Tampa Bay’s Braydon Coburn, forward Cody Eakin left Sunday’s game after being hit in the head by Mark Borowiecki in the first period.“It was a big hit, I don’t think Borowiecki wanted to go over there and exactly hit Cody Eakin in the head,” Gallant said. “But the puck came to Cody right there and he was coming in with a lot of speed …. but I don’t think there was any intent to try and hurt the guy.”Duchene gave the Senators an early 1-0 lead in the first period, and Ryan extended Ottawa’s lead midway through the second period, when he punched home the Senators’ first road power-play goal of the season.“Our players are giving everything they’ve got http://www.officiallightningprostore.com/authentic-adidas-ryan-mcdonagh-jersey , we talked about having 60 minutes of keeping it together and that’s exactly what our players did,” Ottawa coach Guy Boucher said “That’s the difference with the previous two games (against) Boston and Colorado, where we played really good for two periods and then just because the other team scored, whether it’s the end of the second or beginning of the third, all of a sudden we start to get out of whack, impatient, lose our structure … we didn’t do that tonight. The composure was there the entire game. That’s a big building block for us.”Tuch, who missed the first eight games of the season with a lower-body injury, notched his first goal of the season when he went forehand-backhand to deke Anderson and cut Ottawa’s lead in half. Reaves scored his first career power-play goal when he tied the game with 1:39 left in the second period.Playing a nifty passing game of tic-tac-toe, Dzingel was the beneficiary as he scored his team-leading fourth road goal of the season to put Ottawa back on top. The lead didn’t last long, though, as Tuch scored his second goal 28 seconds later.“It’s a big win Womens Steven Stamkos Jersey , especially since we’re going on the road for two really hard games against two really good opponents,” Tuch said. “I thought we played really well today, we had a lot of shots, we had a lot of guys in front of the net, Craig Anderson played an unbelievable game, but we just kept battling.”NOTES: Vegas went 1 for 5 with an extra man, and is 4 for 37 on power-play opportunities this season. …. Fleury remains one shutout away from 50 career shutouts. … Thomas Chabot leads the Senators with seven points (two goals, five assists) on the road. … The Senators are now 1 for 9 with power play chances on the road.UP NEXTOttawa: Visits Arizona on Tuesday.Vegas: Visits Nashville on Tuesday.
