Trevor Zegras had two goals and an assist, Matvei Michkov scored the game-winner in a shootout and the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the New York Islanders 4-3 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
In a spirited game that included a pair of fights and other scrums that resulted in the teams combining for 13 penalties, the Flyers rallied twice. First, overcoming a 2-0 deficit to tie the game, then falling behind in the third period only to tie it again before winning in the shootout.<\/p>\n
Zegras scored his first two goals with the Flyers after being acquired in an offseason trade with the Anaheim Ducks. <\/p>\n
Both goals tied the score for the Flyers. His first goal came off a strong individual effort by Christian Dvorak to weave through the New York defense and drop a pass to Zegras for a wrister from the right circle. <\/p>\n
He followed that up by banging home the rebound of a shot by Bobby Brink that sneaked through the pads of Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin to tie the score 3-3 in the third period. <\/p>\n
Zegras also set up Dvorak with a perfect pass to the front of the net that allowed Dvorak to slide a backhand past Sorokin for the Flyers’ first goal midway through the second period. Zegras capped off his game by scoring one of the two shootout goals for Philadelphia. <\/p>\n
Sam Ersson made 23 saves in the win. <\/p>\n
Simon Holmstrom, Anthony Duclair and Maxim Tsyplakov each scored for the Islanders and Marshall Warren had two assists for New York in his NHL debut.<\/p>\n
