PHILADELPHIA -- With the Philadelphia Flyers in subpar form on Tuesday night, goalie Steve Mason made all the difference.Mason made 42 saves and Jakub Voracek scored with 8.6 seconds left in overtime, lifting the Flyers to their sixth straight win, 3-2 over the Florida Panthers.Wayne Simmonds had two goals for the Flyers, who are on their longest winning streak in five years.Mason, who earned the NHLs First Star of the Week on Monday, won his fifth straight start.We werent clicking, we werent the team with more energy, but in the end we found a way, Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said. The biggest thing is the saves we got. It was one of those nights where (Mason) was our best player.Aleksander Barkov and Jussi Jokinen scored for Florida, which completed a six-game road trip with five losses although the Panthers picked up points in three of those defeats by losing in overtime.Interim coach Tom Rowe was pleased with Floridas effort against the Flyers.It was amazing how we came at them, he said. A lot of good stuff happened. I told the guys after the game that as frustrating as it is and as mad as some of you may be, there are too many positives here to get down.Mason turned aside Floridas best chance in overtime when he denied Aaron Ekblads slap shot from close range.Simmonds notched his 28th multigoal game and second in two games when he deflected Claude Girouxs wrist shot past James Reimer for a 2-1 lead with 9:52 remaining in the second period. It was Simmonds NHL-leading eighth power-play goal and snapped Floridas streak of penalty kills at 18.Im playing with great linemates, great teammates, Simmonds said. Its definitely not all me.Mason kept Philadelphia ahead with his best save of the night six minutes into the third period when he robbed Jokinen with a sprawling glove save on a rebound chance from in close.I went down to my right there and made a desperation attempt to get anything on it, Mason said. Fortunately, I was able to get the glove on it.Jokinen finally beat Mason, tying the game at 2 with 4:46 remaining in the third with a wrist shot from just in front of the goal that went past Masons glove.Overall, we played well, Jokinen said. If we keep playing like weve been playing, well get lots of points.Barkov put the Panthers ahead 1-0 with 4:20 remaining in the first period when he shot from just right of the Flyers goalie, giving the Panthers center nine points in his last 10 games.Simmonds tied it 1 1/2 minutes later with a wrist shot from the high slot, a soft goal that got past backup goalie Reimers glove. The score masked a dominant first period for the Panthers, who outshot Philadelphia 15-6 and mightve gone to the break ahead if not for Masons stellar play.Reimer finished with 22 saves.Florida defenseman Keith Yandle played in his 578th game a night after leaving in the first period with a lower-body injury. Yandle has the 10th longest games played streak ever, but it was thought to be in jeopardy after Rowe said Monday night that he expected Yandle to be out for a while.(Monday) night I thought hed be out for a couple of weeks, but that shows you how tough he is mentally and physically, Rowe said. Its great for the young kids to see that. It was a game where he couldve mailed it in easily and nobody wouldve said a word, but thats the kind of teammate he is.Game notes Philadelphia improved to 6-3 in overtime while Florida dropped to 7-4. ...

Subban and Filip Forsberg each added two assistse, and Juuse Saros had 34 shots for his first NHL victory.It is part of Juuses growing process and how he is evolving through this organization, Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said.

He really bailed us out.Saros was one of the five players recalled from Milwaukee to fill in for several Predators players still suffering from food poisoning. The problem has been attributed by team officials to chicken soup as part of the pregame meal in Detroit on Friday night.We were much less sick for this game, Laviolette said. But they didnt get a chance to eat much. They couldnt keep anything down.Scott Wilson scored in the opening minute of the game for Pittsburgh. Marc-Andre Fleury gave up the five goals on 23 shots through the first two periods before being replaced by Mike Condon, who stopped all seven shots he faced in the third.We have to become a more difficult team to play against, Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. It starts with our decision making but its beyond that at this point.We show signs when we have our game together and we are hard to play against and we show other signs where we dont make the right decisions.Arvidsson tied the score on the power play at 3:08 of the first period, and Fiala beat Fleury with a wrister to start a four-goal second with his first of the season at 2:26.I was happy for Kevin, Laviolette said. He has been working hard, but you arent seeing it on paper. He built a lot of confidence playing on one of our top lines. He was a big contributor.Jarnkroks wrister made it 3-1 just past midway through the period with his ffirst point of the season, and Fiala got his second goal about a minute later for his first career multi-goal game.ddddddddddddArvidssons second of the game and third of the season, into the top right corner of the net, capped the scoring with 36 second left in the second.It only took 52 seconds for Saros to give up his first goal in his second NHL start. Wilson skated in to beat Saros to his glove side with a wrist shot.I just tried to start the game all over again after that shot, Saros said. You cant keep thinking about those goals. You have to continue to keep playing.It was great to get my first NHL victory. It was an amazing thing. It was even better to get it against Pittsburgh since Fleury was one of my early idols. I have spent a lot of time watching his highlights.Saros credited his teammates with making his job a little easier by keeping the area in front of the net clear.I give a lot of credit to the guys in front of me particularly on rebounds, Saros said. They kept guys out of the front of the net so I could see the puck well. It was a lot of fun to play behind those guys.Pekka Rinne, Mike Fisher, Craig Smith and Colton Sissons were all sidelined dealing by the illness. Along with Saros, the others called up were forwards Frederick Gaudreau, Trevor Smith, Austin Watson and Harry Zolnierczyk.Game notes Nashvilles Yannick Weber and Saros each earned their first assists of the season. ...
