PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Flyers found a way to get past Henrik Lundqvist on Saturday and in doing so won, 3-2, in a shootout.
Lundqvist made 46 saves and the Flyers Steve Mason stoppe3d 37 as both teams let the offense roll.
Sam Gagner and Claude Giroux scored in the shootout to give the Flyers the win.
“I figured I went forehand on the breakaway, went backhand on the shootout,” Gagner said. “I know that [Lundqvist] is a student of the game and he knows who’s shooting on him and what they’ve done in the past. I figured I went forehand in the overtime, go backhand on the shootout. He’s a world-class goaltender, so you have to bring your best stuff.”
Mark Streit and Scott Laughton scored the Flyers in regulation.
The Rangers lost a coach’s challenge call on a goal from Jared Stoll.
“I thought it was the right call to make on our part,” Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. “Jarret had been slightly pushed in, and his stick was obviously behind Mason a little bit but wasn’t interfering any of his possibility of making the save. But the referee saw it differently, so you have to respect the call and move on.”
The Rangers had goals from J.T. Miller and Derick Brassard in regulation.
