SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) --- Christian Dvorak scored a tiebreaking goal early in
the third period and added an assist, Dan Vladar made 24 saves and the
Philadelphia Flyers beat the San Jose Sharks 4-1 on Saturday to complete a
three-game West Coast sweep.
Owen Tippett scored in the second period and defenseman Travis Sanheim and Noah
Cates added empty-net goals in the final two minutes as the Flyers won their
third straight and for the fifth time in six games. Philly was coming off a 3-2
overtime win over Anaheim on Wednesday and 4-3 shootout victory over Los
Angeles on Thursday. The Flyers completed a California sweep for the second
time in franchise history and extended their road winning streak to seven games.
Dmitry Orlov scored for San Jose, which lost its fourth in a row and for the
seventh time in nine games. Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 24 of 26 shots.
After a scoreless first period, Tippett got the Flyers on the board with his
24th of the season 2:26 into the second. Tippett took a pass from Trevor
Zegras, got past the Sharks' Nick Leddy and beat Nedeljkovic with a shot to the
glove side.
Orlov evened the score with his third of the season on a power play at 13:12
with a shot from the slot off a feed from William Eklund. Macklin Celebrini
also assisted.
Dvorak put the Flyers ahead 1:47 into the third, scoring on the power play
after San Jose's Mario Ferraro was sent off for roughing. The assists went to
Travis Konecny and Matvei Michkov, who picked up the 100th point of his NHL
career.
The Sharks pulled Nedeljkovic late and the Flyers capitalized. Sanheim scored
his eighth of the season and Cates netted his 15th, matching his career high of
38 points set in 2022-23 when he had 13 goals and 25 assists.

Flyers: Host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
