PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Dale Weise and the Flyers bonded on a recently completed road trip that righted their season. They displayed the renewed confidence with a comeback victory in their return to home ice.Shayne Gostisbehere scored on a one-timer 1:01 into overtime after Weise tied the game with 2:13 left in regulation Yanni Gourde Jersey , and Philadelphia rallied past the Arizona Coyotes 5-4 on Thursday night.Scott Laughton had two goals and Travis Konecny also scored for the Flyers (8-7-1), who began a five-game homestand — their longest of the season — after earning seven of a possible eight points on a four-game trip out West. Philadelphia went over .500 for the first time since winning its season opener against Vegas.“We’re a confident team,” coach Dave Hakstol said. “Guys in the room are tight. You either blow apart or come together. This was a good sign tonight. This was a character win.”Jakub Voracek set up the game-winner in the extra session with a pass to Gostisbehere in the slot, and the defenseman’s slap shot beat goalie Darcy Kuemper.“We had a purpose and it showed,” Gostisbehere said. “Huge for morale. Huge for us.”It appeared the Flyers were going to lose their third in a row at home until Weise tied it.Oliver Ekman-Larsson’s pass in the Arizona zone was intercepted by Gostisbehere. Weise broke toward center ice on the turnover, and Gostisbehere fired a pass to him. Weise got in alone on Kuemper and beat him high to the glove side for his first goal of the season.Weise said the road trip Auston Matthews Jersey , void of distractions, helped the Flyers come together.“It’s just the boys on the road and you get that team bonding,” he said.Ekman-Larsson and Michael Grabner each had a goal and an assist, and Brad Richardson and Derek Stepan also scored for the Coyotes, who lost 5-2 at home to Philadelphia on Monday.“It’s a learning lesson for this team,” coach Rich Tocchet said. “We started to take over the game and then we reverted back to old habits.”Arizona went ahead by scoring three times in the second period Connor Brown Jersey , including two short-handed goals 24 seconds apart.Richardson tied it 2-all 1:51 into the second when his wrist shot from the right circle beat Calvin Pickard to the far side. Stepan scored with a backhand on a short-handed breakaway with 13:46 left in the period after Gostisbehere’s turnover at the Philadelphia blue line.Grabner then got in alone on Pickard and also scored with a backhand.Hakstol pulled Pickard in favor of Brian Elliott after Grabner’s goal. Elliott, the Flyers’ regular starter, wasn’t in the initial lineup following an upper-body injury he sustained in a collision with Konecny at practice on Sunday.Elliott stopped all 16 shots he faced.Laughton scored his second of the night 2½ minutes into the third on a backhand after a scramble in front.Philadelphia got the first goal, just as it did in all four games on the road trip.Konecny finished with a backhand from close range after a good pass from Claude Giroux at the point to make it 1-0 just 1:18 in. It was 2-0 only 4½ minutes later when Laughton forced a turnover in front and beat Kuemper with a backhand.The Coyotes got one back with 11:30 left in the first on Ekman-Larsson’s wrist shot from the point that sneaked inside the post past Pickard’s left pad.NOTES: The Flyers have allowed a power-play goal in nine straight games. … D Alex Goligoski (lower body) left in the second period and didn’t return. … Oskar Lindblom extended his career-best point streak to five games with a third-period assist.UP NEXTCoyotes: At Pittsburgh on Saturday night.Flyers: Host Chicago on Saturday afternoon. PITTSBURGH (AP) Sidney Crosby let one chance to bury the New York Islanders slip away. The Pittsburgh Penguins star wasn’t about to let it happen twice.Crosby finished off a 2-on-1 by sneaking a wrist shot past Chris Gibson 3:48 into overtime to give the Penguins a 3-2 win Saturday. Pittsburgh’s captain failed to convert on a rush moments earlier, but an outlet pass by Justin Schultz freed up Crosby once again.This time he faked a pass to Conor Sheary and instead beat Gibson between the legs as the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions snapped a three-game losing streak.”Thought I had a good opportunity to shoot and missed one right before that so glad to see it go in,” Crosby said after picking up his 22nd goal of the season.Derick Brassard’s first goal with Pittsburgh tied it with less than nine minutes to go in regulation. Patric Hornqvist added his 18th goal of the season for the Penguins. Phil Kessel picked up two assists to become the sixth American-born player to reach 400 career assists. Tristan Jarry overcame a comically ugly start to finish with 25 saves.Jarry’s night began by giving up a goal to New York’s Brandon Davidson just 1:11 into the game. Davidson flipped a slow backhand from outside the right circle only to see it go into the net when Jarry tripped and fell backward to the ice .”It was a little easier when I came back to the bench and seen 90 percent of the guys laughing at me Frederik Andersen Jersey ,” Jarry said. ”It’s a tough thing to swallow but I’m glad we won.”Anders Lee put New York up 4:59 into the third period when his shot caromed off Pittsburgh defenseman Jamie Oleksiak and over the goal line for his team-leading 31st. Gibson, making his first start in nearly two years, almost made it stand up. He finished with 47 saves in all but let Brassard jam one by him with 8:31 left in regulation to tie it and he was no match for Crosby late. The Islanders have dropped six straight.Making just his fifth NHL start and first since April 10, 2016, Gibson spent most of the night trying to make up for lost time. The Penguins peppered the New York net for long stretches, often looking like they were on the power play despite being at even strength. Asked if he could remember the last time he faced 50 shots at any level Womens Jake Gardiner Jersey , Gibson just shook his head.”To be honest, I can’t but it was great,” Gibson said. ”I loved every single second of it. I’m really happy with my game except that last goal and the loss there.”The Penguins were coming off an ugly 8-4 setback in Boston on Thursday night, one that extended their losing streak to three and blunted their recent surge toward the top of the Metropolitan Division. Coach Mike Sullivan, rarely hesitant to shake things up during even the slightest of downturns, opted for minor tweaks instead of major ones.Pittsburgh called up forward Dominik Simon and put him on the third line and Sullivan mixed up the bottom two defensive pairings Matt Bartkowski Jersey Womens , including giving Chad Ruhwedel his first start since Dec. 27. The result was better play in front of Jarry.
