The Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night host a Florida Panthers team still in search of their first win in the young season.The Panthers (0-2-1) have led in each of their games thus far before losing each by one goal.“Every time we take the lead Adidas Jeff Skinner Jersey , it’s tough when the momentum changes and the other team ties it up right after. It’s a pattern so far in the first three games,” Panthers coach Bob Boughner told the team’s website. “It’ something that’s got to change.”Article continues below ...Florida’s latest defeat came at home Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. The Panthers led 2-1 in the second period before the Canucks tied the game on a penalty shot. Vancouver took the lead early in the third period and the Panthers fell 3-2.Florida generated 62 shot attempts in the loss. The Panthers failed to cash in on any of their five power plays — and are now 0-for-12 on the season — while the Canucks were 1-for-3.“I think there’s a lot of things we can be positive about and we’re playing pretty good hockey, but we’re kind of beating ourselves,” forward Vincent Trocheck said. “We’re giving teams just a few chances, but the chances we’re giving up are Grade-A quality opportunities that we can’t be giving up.”Panthers goalie James Reimer, who stopped 27 shots against Vancouver, is 0-2-1 with a 3.62 goals-against average and an .885 save percentage.The Flyers (2-3) played one of their strongest games of the season on Saturday but came away with a 1-0 loss to the visiting Vegas Golden Knights. The Flyers outshot the Knights 26-21 but couldn’t put a puck past goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.“We needed to be (better defensively). We got scored on a lot (in the first four games) Adidas Tage Thompson Jersey ,” Jakub Voracek told the Courier Post. “We wanted to tidy it up a bit, which we did. The positive thing is that we didn’t take anything out of the offensive side. Obviously, we had a lot of chances and didn’t score. Another tough game (Tuesday).”The Flyers had surrendered 19 goals in their first four games.Coach Dave Hakstol was pleased with Saturday’s effort but would like to see the Flyers generate more offensive chances.“We can shoot the puck a little more, especially early in the hockey game, to establish a little more in the offensive zone,” he told Philly.com. “We can have a couple individual players play better.”Philadelphia — already missing forwards James van Riemsdyk (knee) and Nolan Patrick (upper body) got some good news Monday when winger Oskar Lindblom practiced and said he’ll be in the lineup against the Panthers.Lindblom was hit face-first into the boards Saturday by Vegas defenseman Brayden McNabb and left the game.“After the hard hit, I felt a little shaky Adidas Rasmus Andersson Jersey , but I got a good day off and I felt like I came back to normal pretty quick,” Lindblom told Philly.com after Monday’s practice.Brian Elliott has a 6-3-0 career record against the Panthers with a 2.41 goals-against average and .919 save percentage. Reimer is 4-4-3 with a 2.51 GAA and a .918 save percentage versus Philadelphia. RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Jordan Martinook doesn’t think it’s his job to score goals for the Carolina Hurricanes.“I’m just a guy that goes and works hard and if they come, they come,” Martinook said.The goals came in bunches for Martinook on Friday night as the Hurricanes’ third-line winger recorded his first hat trick in a 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers.It was Carolina’s third straight win.Martinook, a fifth-year forward, scored in the first period and added two goals in the third Adidas Dalton Prout Jersey , while Curtis McElhinney made 34 saves for the Hurricanes.Troy Brouwer scored Florida’s only goal at 14:04 of the third period, spoiling McElhinney’s shutout bid.Martinook’s linemates, Lucas Wallmark (three assists) and Andrei Svechnikov (two assists), were also productive for the Hurricanes, who closed out a six-game homestand with a 4-1-1 record.“That’s just what we do: We go out work hard and forecheck,” Martinook said. “The last five, six games Adidas Derek Ryan Jersey , you could see us coming and it’s nice to finally get rewarded and get some pucks in the back of the net.”Martinook, traded from Arizona to Carolina in the offseason, had six goals in 81 games with the Coyotes last season. He has seven goals through 22 games this season.The Hurricanes had hoped to get leadership and some grit from Martinook. They didn’t quite know they were going to get this much from McElhinney when they picked up on waivers from Toronto two days before the season started.McElhinney, signed after top goalie Scott Darling got hurt in the preseason, now has more wins (six) than the two goalies (Darling and Petr Mrazek) technically ahead of him on the depth chart.McElhinney is making the most of this opportunity, his seventh team in 11 NHL seasons. He also picked up wins over New Jersey and Toronto this week.“It’s all about building something here right now” McElhinney said. “We’ve got a little bit of steam going.”McElhinney was especially good in the second period when he killed off Florida’s only power-play opportunity in the game. He made a sterling glove save on Nick Bjugstad at 12:09.Carolina finish with four power-play chances, compared to only one for the Panthers Adidas James Neal Jersey , but Florida coach Bob Boughner wasn’t necessarily worried about the discrepancy.“I don’t think we lost because of the refereeing tonight,” Boughner said. “We couldn’t find a way to score when we needed a goal. I give McElhinney some credit. He played well.”The Panthers needed two goalies to get through Friday’s game. Roberto Luongo got hurt on Martinook’s first goal, which came at 19:22 in the first.Luongo stopped a shot from Martinook and the rebound went to Wallmark in front of the net. Luongo saved the first attempt from Wallmark, but Martinook skated in and scored on the rebound.Luongo immediately fell to the ice and grabbed his right knee. He was replaced by James Reimer and didn’t return. Reimer finished with 26 saves for the Panthers, who lost for the fourth time in five games.Neither team scored in the second period. McElhinney got some help in the second when Denis Malgin’s shot pinged off the crossbar at 7:30.Martinook made it 2-0 at 7:31 in the third period off of an assist from Wallmark. Sixty-one seconds later, Teuvo Teravainen put the game away with his fifth goal of the season.NOTES: The Panthers closed out a six-game road trip with a 2-4 record. . Rookie winger Andrei Svechnikov had two assists for the Hurricanes. Center Sebastian Aho registered his team-best 18th assist. He leads the team with 25 points.UP NEXTPanthers: Host the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday.Hurricanes: At the New York Islanders on Saturday.
