Travis Konecny scored twice for his first multigoal game this season and the Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 2-1 on Monday.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia stopped a six-game slide and ended Vegas’ seven-game winning streak.<\/p>\n
The Flyers improved to 6-8-2 since opening the season 17-9-6. They had lost six of their previous seven meetings with the Golden Knights.<\/p>\n
Konecny has 17 goals this season. He scored 3:46 into the first period, and his short-handed goal at 7:22 of the third gave Philadelphia a 2-1 lead. Both goals were unassisted. <\/p>\n
Tomas Hertl scored a power-play goal for Vegas late in the second, and Adin Hill turned aside 15 shots.<\/p>\n
It marked the first time Vegas scored just one goal since Dec. 17, a 2-1 shootout loss to New Jersey at home.<\/p>\n
Samuel Ersson made 24 saves for the Flyers, including two during a 6-on-4 situation at the end of the game. With the Golden Knights on a power play, they pulled Hill for an extra skater.<\/p>\n
The Golden Knights, who entered leading the NHL with a power-play percentage of 47.1% since Jan. 6, had a season-high seven opportunities with the man advantage.<\/p>\n
