FLYERS 4, BLACKHAWKS 3.
PHILADELPHIA, AP — Cam Atkinson scored two goals and assisted Joel Farabee. Philadelphia beat Chicago by three points.
Derick Brassard and Oskar Lindblom also scored for the Flyers. This win was their fourth in the last 25 games, continuing their dominance at home against the Blackhawks. The Flyers have won 16 consecutive regular-season games at home against Chicago. The Blackhawks won their last regular-season game in Philadelphia on November 9, 1996.
The Blackhawks lost five of seven, and Dylan Strome scored two goals. Alex DeBrincat also scored. Kane scored an assist, bringing his totals for the team to 39 assists and 56 point.
There were 12 penalties in the game, and it got very heated, especially in third period. After a hit from Kirby Dach, Philadelphia defenseman Kevin Connauton was forced to leave the ice with 8:59 remaining.
BLUES 2 – ISLANDERS 2
NEW YORK (AP), Oliver Wahlstrom and Brock Nelson scored each, Ilya Sorokin saved 27 and New York beat St. Louis.
The Islanders won a two-game series with 14 stops by Sorokin in the third period.
Robert Thomas scored St. Louis’s goal with 2:52 remaining. Jordan Binnington made 18 saves. The Blues lost their second consecutive game despite an extended push.
Two goals were apparently overturned by Kyle Palmieri, Islanders’ goaltender. After St. Louis had challenged Palmieri for goaltender interference, the first occurred in the opening period. Midway through the third, Palmieri scored a goal past Binnington. However, referees determined that Palmieri had redirected the puck with his stick above the crossbar after video review.
