on both the game and in some ways their season Florida Panthers T-Shirts Authentic , the Philadelphia Flyers summoned some more late magic to stun the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again.James van Riemsdyk scored with 18 seconds left in regulation to force overtime and Sean Couturier finished off a dazzling rush to beat Matt Murray with 3 seconds remaining in the extra period as Philadelphia capped an improbable comeback with a 2-1 victory on Sunday night.The Flyers kept their fading postseason hopes alive by again surging past the Penguins for the second time in a month.Three weeks ago it was two goals in the final 3:04 to force overtime before Claude Giroux’s winner with 1:59 to go in the 3-on-3. This time the deficit wasn’t quite as deep but time was far shorter when van Riemsdyk took a pass from Travis Konecny in the slot and ripped one by Matt Murray’s outstretched glove to push it beyond regulation.“No lead is ever safe, it seems like,” van Riemsdyk said.Not of late, at least when the Penguins are on the other side of the ice. The two teams took turns testing Murray and Philadelphia rookie goaltender Carter Hart in overtime and appeared headed for a shootout before Couturier banked a pass off the sideboard to himself, raced around Pittsburgh star Sidney Crosby then fired a shot from low in the right circle under Murray’s right arm and into the net for his 29th and perhaps most important goal of the season.The win marked the first time in NHL history a team beat the same opponent multiple times in a season in games where they scored a tying goal in the final 30 seconds of regulation. Philadelphia moved within six points of Columbus for the Eastern Conference’s second wild card with nine games to go in the regular season. Odds are slim, but they would have been all but gone if van Riemsdyk hadn’t found room in the middle of the Pittsburgh zone.“If we don’t win tonight, that’s a huge hole,” Philadelphia coach Scott Gordon said. “We’re definitely running out of time. It was a game that we definitely needed the two points and got a lot of big performances in the end there.”Teddy Blueger, starting on the second line in place of injured Evgeni Malkin Florida Panthers Hoodies Authentic , scored Pittsburgh’s lone goal as the Penguins managed just one point out of a pair of home games during the weekend.Pittsburgh’s stretch run might not include Malkin, who head coach Mike Sullivan said is “week to week” with an upper-body injury. Malkin collided with St. Louis defenseman Robert Bortuzzo in a loss to the Blues on Saturday. He remained in the game and played more than 19 minutes but just over 24 hours later his familiar No. 71 was nowhere to be found.“He’s a tough guy to replace, he’s an elite player, that speaks for itself,” Sullivan said. “We’ll take it game to game and see how it goes.”Murray, who was pulled after allowing four goals on 13 shots against the Blues, bounced back by making 36 saves but faltered late, as did the play in front of him.“It’s tough,” Murray said. “Every point is valuable. It stings for sure.”Facing Pittsburgh for the first time in his career Florida Panthers Hats Authentic , the 20-year-old Hart was spectacular. He turned away 41 shots — including several opportunities from in close — to win for the first time since returning from an upper-body injury that sidelined him from Feb. 23-March 11.“For us to come back like that in the third period, it feels like we’ve almost done it in every game against these guys,” Hart said.The Flyers appeared to take the lead 1:06 into the second period when Giroux’s wrist shot from the right circle got through Murray. The on-ice officials, however, immediately waved it off, ruling Jakub Voracek interfered with Murray as he skated by the crease as the shot closed in. The Flyers challenged the call, and it was overturned by replay officials. Pittsburgh then challenged the goal on the grounds that Voracek was offsides when the play entered the zone. The call was then overturned a second time, leaving the game scoreless.Got it?Goal or no goal, it was one of the few times the Flyers truly tested Murray through the first two periods. The Penguins tilted the ice heavily at times Custom Florida Panthers Jerseys , swarming Hart with extended pressure. Finishing, however, was another matter. If Pittsburgh wasn’t shooting wide — as Nick Bjugstad did on a breakaway in the second period — then Hart was making an indelible first impression in one of the NHL’s most testy rivalries.“”He was great,” Couturier said of Hart. “That’s what you want from your goalie…We had to step up for him.”NOTES: Kessel playing in his 319th consecutive game with Pittsburgh, tying Craig Adams’ franchise record.

(AP) — When Taylor Hall was asked in the offseason who is the toughest goalie to play against, he’d say Sergei Bobrovsky.Maybe he’s just that for the Devils, or maybe he actually is. This season www.officialkings.com , it’s been a combination of both.Bobrovsky made 39 saves, Artemi Panarin had a goal and an assist, and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the New Jersey Devils 3-0 on Sunday for their fourth consecutive victory.It was the second shutout of the season for Bobrosky, the 26th of his career and third against the Devils.“I don’t know if it’s just like us he plays like that.” Hall said. “You have to have perfect shots and it doesn’t seem like any goal is ever his fault. He’s either getting screened or a backdoor tap or whatever. Like you said, we had some really good chances. Sustained pressure, second chances, chances in tight. I don’t know what there is to do other than that.”Cam Atkinson and Oliver Bjorkstrand added first-period goals for the Blue Jackets, who trail first-place Washington by two points in the Metropolitan Division going into the league’s holiday break.“It’s always good to get the first one, especially in the away barn Los Angeles Kings T-Shirts Authentic ,” Atkinson said. “We knew we’d see their best and to feel good right away, it’s good for us. We can enjoy this and get a little bit of a rest here and be ready for the Rangers.”Atkinson opened the scoring at 4:03 of the first period on the Blue Jackets’ first shot of the game when he took a pass from Panarin and sent it past Devils goalie Keith Kinkaid for his 23rd goal of the season.Bjorkstrand made it 2-0 just 1:28 later when he converted a pass from Alexander Wennberg for his fourth goal of the season.Kinkaid gave up a fast-break goal by Panarin to put the Blue Jackets up 3-0 midway through the second period. Panarin stole the puck from Taylor Hall in the neutral zone, and the goal got Kinkaid (eight saves) pulled for Mackenzie Blackwood.The Devils had a two-man advantage late in the second period but were unable to score.Their victory win Friday — which included a five-goal outburst — was just their fourth in their last 17 games. Blackwood had nine saves in a period and a half of play on Sunday.“He played well the first game and he came in and he played pretty well and he’s going to get some serious looks here after break,” Devils coach John Hynes said.NOTES: The Blue Jackets also beat the Devils last Thursday in Columbus. … The Devils wore their heritage jerseys. … Stefan Noesen, Egor Yakovlev and Mirco Mueller were scratches for the Devils while Sonny Milano, Dean Kukan and Lukas Sedlak were scratches for the Blue Jackets.UP NEXTBlue Jackets: At Rangers on Thursday night.Devils: At Boston Bruins on Thursday night.
