The Philadelphia Flyers might want to stay out of the penalty box in Saturday’s home game against Tampa Bay.The Lightning Dalton Prout Jersey Womens , the Eastern Conference leaders through their first 19 games, scored four power play goals — three of them by Brayden Point on the same power play — in Thursday night’s 4-3 victory in Pittsburgh. Entering play Friday, they were second in the NHL with 27 power play goals.Not a great omen for the Flyers, who were next-to-last in the league in penalty killing percentage (71.2) and tied for league lead in power play goals allowed (19).Article continues below ...Point scored three power-play goals in 1:31 — the sixth-fastest hat trick in NHL history — Thursday night.“That’s a first for me,” Point said after his team ended a two-game losing streak to improve to 13-5-1. “They told me after the game, so it’s pretty cool. Guys made good plays and I was able to score.”Nikita Kucherov assisted on all three goals to get to 200 assists in his career, as the Lightning won in the first game after losing Andrei Vasilevskiy to a broken foot.“I thought we moved the puck well,” Point said. “Obviously Elias Lindholm Jersey Womens , 5-on-3s are pretty tough to defend, and I thought we weren’t getting too cute with it. I thought we were making good plays to the net and shooting the puck.”While the Lightning were evening their record to 1-1 on a four-game road trip, the Flyers were stymied by Keith Kinkaid and the New Jersey Devils in the third of five straight home games. It was the second straight low-scoring loss for the Flyers, who have come off a 5-0-1 streak with only one goal in two games.They hit five posts — one by Oskar Lindblom with his team down 1-0 in the third period — in the loss that dropped them to 9-9-1.And they also lost goaltender Brian Elliott to injury for the second time this month to a pulled groin. He was relieved by Calvin Pickard, who replaced him for two games on the 3-0-1 road trip and went 1-0-1.Friday, the Flyers said Elliott, whose injury could be related to previous core muscle and hip surgeries, should miss two weeks. Alex Lyon was recalled from the minors and there’s a chance the injured Michal Neuwirth could return while Elliott is out.Pickard was claimed off waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs Oct. 2.“I’m confident Alan Quine Jersey Womens ,” Pickard said after Thursday’s loss. “I had a couple good starts last weekI just have to have a good sleep tonight, wake up tomorrow and get back to work.”Louis Domingue has replaced Vasilevskiy, expected to miss three to four weeks after getting hit with a routine shot in practice, after the starter was injured in practice. He is 1-1-0 in two career games against the Flyers.The Lightning have surrendered the first goal of the game in nine of the last 10 and continue to come from behind.“We didn’t quit,” Steven Stamkos said Thursday. “We knew we would probably get some calls after the flurry of penalties we had in the first. We were able to get fortunate and get a couple 5-on-3s, which the old cliché is if you don’t score on your 5-on-3, you probably don’t win the game. We get two there, and then one right after on that extended power play. So special teams were huge tonight.”Pickard is 0-0-1 in his only career start against the Lightning.While the Lightning power play was potent Thursday Petr Mrazek Jersey Womens , the Flyers are 2-for-32 with the advantage over the last 11 games after going 0-for-4 Thursday.They got James van Riemsdyk back Thursday for his first game since Oct. 6and he caused a power-play goal to be waved off because of goalie interference.“If you’re out for six weeks, especially at the start of the season when you’ve been off already for three or four months, you’re definitely not as sharp as you’d like to be,” said van Riemsdyk, a major offseason signing. “I’m sure I’ll be fine; it’s just one of those things that’s a work in progress.”Radko Gudas, who missed Thursday’s Flyers loss because of illness, was back on the ice Friday. Cassie Campbell-Pascall entered the 2006 Olympics knowing it could be the final time she played for Team Canada. Determined to end her tenure as Canadian captain standing atop the podium as an Olympic champion, she led with passion and pride as Canada asserted its dominance as the best the women鈥檚 game had to offer.Like so many before her Jordan Schroeder Jersey Womens , though, a concussion almost cost Campbell-Pascall the opportunity to retire on her own terms. Having already sustained previous head injuries, Campbell-Pascall received another in April 2004 that jeopardized her Olympic hopes. 鈥淥riginally, I thought it was more of a neck problem,鈥?she said. 鈥淏ut I realized the concussion was so severe the impact actually bruised the spinal cord in my neck. That鈥檚 something that really never goes away.鈥漈he misconcepti... All-Access +All-Access Member AreaPremium content and in-depth analysis from our team of experts exclusively for magazine subscribers.
