NHL News: Bobby Brink lifts ascending Flyers past sputtering Devils

Bobby Brink scored the go-ahead goal with 7:16 left in the third period to help the visiting Philadelphia Flyers to a 3-1 win against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday in Newark, N.J.

Matvei Michkov and Travis Konecny each scored a goal and Samuel Ersson made 13 saves for the Flyers, who are 4-0-1 in their past five games.

Defenseman Dougie Hamilton scored a goal and Jake Allen turned aside 15 shots for the Devils, who have lost eight of their past 10 games (2-5-3).

Brink put Philadelphia ahead 2-1 on the power play. Noah Cates won a puck battle behind the net and fed it in front to an unmarked Brink, with the winger sending a quick wrister over Allen’s glove.

Konecny scored an empty-net goal with three seconds remaining.

Hamilton snapped a 19-game goal drought to open the scoring at 2:17 of the first period.

After Tomas Tatar rimmed the puck toward the back of the net, Nate Bastian collected it and sent a backhand feed up the right wall to Hamilton, who wired a wrist shot from the right point through traffic that beat a screened Ersson.

Michkov pulled the Flyers even at 1-1 at 1:56 of the second period.

Captain Sean Couturier had his stick ready to intercept Luke Hughes’ blue-line pass and took it into the neutral zone before pushing a short dish up to Michkov, who broke in and snapped it past Allen.

Philadelphia pressed to open the third period and Allen had to be sharp. He denied Cates in tight as the center whacked at the puck multiple times just 30 seconds in and then sprawled to get his pad on a loose puck amid a scramble at the crease.

New Jersey appeared to regain the lead nearly four minutes into the frame when Jesper Bratt beat Ersson with a one-timer from the right circle off a feed from Jack Hughes. The Flyers, however, challenged for offside, and the goal was overturned after video review confirmed Bratt preceded the puck into the zone.
