Trevor Zegras and Travis Konecny scored in the shootout as the Philadelphia Flyers recovered from blowing a three-goal lead to post a 4-3 victory over the host New York Islanders on Friday in Elmont, N.Y.

With the win, Philadelphia remained perfect at 5-0 in shootouts this season. Tyson Foerster, Sean Couturier and Zegras scored in regulation for the Flyers, with Ersson making 28 saves before his shootout heroics.

Emil Heineman, Matthew Schaefer and Anders Lee scored in regulation for New York, while David Rittich made 18 saves. Simon Holmstrom tallied the lone shootout goal for the Islanders.

Zegras opened the shootout with a nifty backhander under the crossbar before Mathew Barzal rang one off the post on the other end. Matvei Michkov attempted a similar move to Zegras, but Rittich gloved it. Holmstrom then tied it with a deke to the backhand, beating Ersson.

Konecny snapped a wrister under Rittich’s arm to give the Flyers the advantage, and Ersson sealed it with a pad stop on Bo Horvat.

The Flyers scored 22 seconds apart in the first period on unassisted goals by Foerster and Couturier, both off defensive-zone turnovers by the Islanders. Philadelphia then made it 3-0 early in the second period when Emil Andrae’s pass caromed off Zegras and into the net.

However, New York bounced back with two goals in the next six and a half minutes.

First, Heineman buried his 10th of the season off a drop pass from Jonathan Drouin. Kyle Palmieri made the key play with a steal from Andrae to give the Islanders possession of the puck.

Shortly thereafter, Schaefer got a good look at a wrist shot from the left circle and beat Ersson for his eighth of the season. The Islanders tied it in the final minute of the second period, as Lee redirected Schaefer’s shot for a power-play goal.

Towards the end of the third period, a high-sticking penalty on Michkov gave New York a four-minute power play, but Ersson and the Flyers held firm.

The Islanders controlled the bulk of the play in overtime before the Flyers captured their eighth straight shootout, dating back to last season.

Nazem Kadri had a goal and two assists, Yan Kuznetsov notched his first career goal and the Calgary Flames won for the second time on their five-game road swing by toppling the Florida Panthers 5-3 on Friday afternoon in Sunrise, Fla.

MacKenzie Weegar, Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee hit the net for the Flames, who are 2-1-0 on the trip with stops left at the Carolina Hurricanes and Nashville Predators. Rasmus Andersson posted two assists.

The Flames started backup goalie Devin Cooley, and the 28-year-old responded with 37 saves.

Evan Rodrigues, Sam Bennett and Brad Marchand tallied as the Panthers lost for the third time in four games (1-3-0). Sam Reinhart had two assists. Backup goaltender Daniil Tarasov made 29 saves.

After the Flames allowed four goals in the first 10:01 in a 5-1 loss at Tampa Bay Wednesday, the Panthers jumped out to a similar start when a forced turnover led to Rodrigues deking his way to his seventh tally 54 second into the match.

Bennett pushed it to a two-goal lead two minutes later, but Kuznetsov, playing in his 13th career game, netted his goal at 5:35 to give the Pacific Division club some momentum.

A former Panthers defenseman acquired in the 2022 trade for Matthew Tkachuk, Weegar blasted his first goal of the year at 10:41 to knot the game at 2-all.

Calgary ended the frame with a 5-on-3 power play that carried over to the second, while the Panthers outshot them 19-14.

Near the end of the two-man advantage early in the second, Frost put back a rebound 55 seconds in as Calgary scored a third straight goal for its first lead of the day.

Andersson redeemed himself from an earlier roughing penalty with a long shot that Kadri clipped for a 4-2 lead with 1:16 left.

Trailing on a rush in the third, Marchand took a feed from Reinhart and blistered his team-best 15th goal at 11:54.

However, Farabee recorded his 100th career marker into an empty net at 18:57 for the final margin.

Jake Allen made 42 saves for the shutout and Arseny Gritsyuk had two goals in the New Jersey Devils’ 5-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday.

The Devils are on a three-game winning streak and have the most points (33) of any team in the Eastern Conference. The Sabres have lost their last two games and sit at the bottom of the East standings with 22 points.

Allen achieved his first shutout of the season, marking his third-highest save total among his 29 career NHL shutouts. He has been impressive this season, posting an 8-4-0 record over 13 games with a .919 save percentage and a 2.26 goals against average.

Brenden Dillon and Paul Cotter each had a goal and an assist for the Devils and Ondrej Palat added two assists.

Nico Hischier recorded New Jersey’s other goal to extend his scoring streak to four games. Hischier has nine points (five goals, four assists) over that four-game stretch.

Gritsyuk recorded the first multi-goal game of his NHL rookie season and has six goals in 24 games with New Jersey.

The Sabres were held scoreless for the third time this season, despite a 42-23 edge in shots. Buffalo goalie Alex Lyon stopped only 18 of 23 shots.

Both teams generated solid offensive chances during the first period, but a somewhat fluky goal put New Jersey ahead at the 12:07 mark. From behind Buffalo’s net, Timo Meier sent the puck bouncing over the crossbar and over Lyon’s back, and Hischier was in position in front for the conversion.

Buffalo outshot New Jersey by a 15-8 margin in the second period, but Gritsyuk scored at the 7:45 mark for the only goal of the frame.

The Devils kept pouring on the offense in the third period, beginning with Dillon’s one-timer at the 1:39 mark. Cotter scored on a breakaway 5:22 into the third, and Gritsyuk added his second goal of the game late on a two-on-one rush with Palat.

Leo Carlsson scored the game-tying goal with 1:31 remaining in the third period and Troy Terry and Mason McTavish converted in the shootout, lifting the host Anaheim Ducks to a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday.

Terry tucked the puck between the pads of Darcy Kuemper in the shootout and McTavish also tallied for the Ducks, who concluded a six-game homestand with a 4-2-0 record.

Anaheim’s Ville Husso was perfect in the shootout and finished with 23 saves in his first NHL game this season. Husso was recalled from San Diego of the American Hockey League on Wednesday with fellow goaltender Lukas Dostal set to miss two-to-three weeks due to an upper-body injury.

Carlsson, who converted from the doorstep on the tying goal, also notched two assists.

Chris Kreider scored a power-play goal and defensemen Olen Zellweger and Pavel Mintyukov also tallied for the Ducks.

Alex Laferriere, Kevin Fiala, Alex Turcotte and defenseman Joel Edmundson each scored a goal and Kuemper made 27 saves for the Kings, who have lost four of their last five games (1-1-3).

A healthy scratch in Los Angeles’ previous game, Turcotte converted defenseman Brandt Clarke’s saucer pass at the doorstep to give his team a 3-2 lead at 3:23 of the third period. Turcotte’s goal was his first of the season.

Edmundson doubled the advantage 3 1/2 minutes later with a shot from the point. Corey Perry, who spent his first 14 seasons with Anaheim, appeared to deflect the puck from in close, however.

Mintyukov halved the deficit with 9:18 remaining before Carlsson’s late goal.

Laferriere slapped a loose puck between the pads of Husso to open the scoring with 2:12 remaining in the first period, however Kreider converted Troy Terry’s centering feed to forge a 1-1 tie exactly nine minutes into the second.

Fiala wired a shot from the left circle that sailed off the crossbar and into the net to regain Los Angeles’ lead 63 seconds later. That advantage was short-lived, however, as Zellweger converted from in close just 59 seconds after that.

Matt Boldy scored the decisive goal in the shootout round to lift the Minnesota Wild to a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday afternoon in Saint Paul, Minn.

Kirill Kaprizov scored both goals in regulation for Minnesota, which won its seventh game in a row. Mats Zuccarello also scored during the shootout round for the Wild.

Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and an assist for Colorado, whose 10-game winning streak ended. Martin Necas scored the lone goal during the shootout round for the Avalanche, who earned one point in the standings by forcing the game to overtime.

Wild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt stopped 39 of 41 shots in regulation and overtime, and he turned aside two of three attempts in the shootout round.

Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood saved 35 of 37 shots in regulation and overtime, but he stopped only one of three attempts in the final round.

The Avalanche opened the scoring with 5:06 to go in the first period. MacKinnon cleaned up a loose puck in front of the net by blasting in a shot from the front of the crease.

The play marked MacKinnon’s league-leading 19th goal in 24 games this season. He has scored in back-to-back games, and he has five goals in his past five games.

The Wild pulled even at 1-all with eight minutes to go in the second period. Kaprizov deflected in a shot from the low slot for the 200th goal of his career.

Kaprizov struck again to put the Wild up 2-1 with 1:57 left in the second period. Ryan Hartman turned down a shot, skated behind the net and fed a pass toward Kaprizov, who fired a one-timer from just inside the right circle for his second goal of the game and 16th of the season.

Colorado battled back to even the score at 2-all with 8:52 remaining in the third period. Gabriel Landeskog got knocked down behind the net but got back up on his skates, received a pass from MacKinnon and muscled in a shot from the right side of the crease.
