Zegras scores in shootout as Flyers defeat Penguins 4-3
PITTSBURGH (AP) --- Trevor Zegras scored the only goal of the shootout to help
the Philadelphia Flyers defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 on Saturday night.
Owen Tippett, Alex Bump and Denver Barkey scored for the Flyers, and Dan Vladar
stopped 20 shots.
Tommy Novak, Rickard Rakell and Erik Karlsson scored for the Penguins, and
Stuart Skinner stopped 12 shots a day after Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin was
suspended for five games. The Penguins were also without captain Sidney Crosby,
who is out for a minimum of four weeks because of a lower-body injury.
Tippett scored his 20th goal of the season less than a minute after Novak
opened the scoring for the Penguins. It marked Tippett's fourth consecutive
season with at least 20 goals.
Bump scored in his NHL debut to tie the game at 2. With his family in the
stands, he scored short side after a no-look pass from Nikita Grebenkin just
over a minute after Rackell put the Penguins ahead 2-1 early in the second
period.
Karlsson scored a minute later, and Barkley scored midway through the second to
even the score at 3.
Vladar got called for interference 2:51 into overtime, and the Flyers killed
off the late penalty.
Up next
Flyers: Host the New York Rangers on Monday.
Penguins: Host Boston on Sunday.
