PHILADELPHIA – In a 31-second span Saturday, the Philadelphia Flyers turned a frustrating effort into a win when Ivan Provorov scored twice to erase a 1-0 deficit and send the Flyers to a 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.
“Last game a few bad bounces, (I) didn’t play my best that game,” Provorov said. “But I put it behind me and learned from it. It was a better result tonight.”

Brayden Schenn also scored for Philadelphia.
“Score one goal in a game, that’s a pretty good feeling,” Provorov said. “And then score two in one shift, that’s pretty unbelievable.”
Steve Mason made 26 saves in the win.
“Provorov stepped up in the second,” Mason said. “You come in to a League at a young age, it’s not easy and you’ve got to get your feet under you and we’re starting to see that.”
Artemi Panarin was the lone goal scorer for the Hawks who held the lead and controlled the play.
“I didn’t mind most of the game,” Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville said. “There were stretches in our own end that coverage was off, especially with their defensemen coming down from their own end.”
Scott Darling made 27 saves in taking the loss.
