Flyers Top Blackhawks 4-1 In Timonen's Return
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Claude Giroux, Wayne Simmonds, Ryan White and Michael Raffl scored goals to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 4-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night.
Giroux had his 22nd goal for his first even-strength score at home this season. Steve Mason was stout again for the Flyers, finishing with 34 saves.
Andrew Shaw scored for the Blackhawks.
Flyers fans gave Blackhawks defenseman Kimmo Timonen a standing ovation during a video tribute for the returning defenseman who helped lead Philadelphia to the 2010 Stanley Cup final.
Timonen returned to Philadelphia for the first time since he was traded to Chicago in February for two draft picks.
