Shootout Goal Lifts Canadiens Over Flyers
MONTREAL (AP) — Paul Byron scored in the fifth round of a shootout and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 Friday night to end a three-game losing streak.
Dale Weise and Max Pacioretty scored in regulation for Montreal, and P.K. Subban had two assists. Mike Condon made 35 saves.
The Flyers had goals from Nick Cousins and Michael Raffl, and Michal Neuvirth stopped 29 shots.
The Flyers' Shayne Gostisbehere had an assist to extend his point streak to 14 games, an NHL record for a rookie defenseman. It's the league's longest active streak, and the Margate, Florida native is the first defenseman since Brian Leetch from Oct. 30 to Dec. 1, 1996 with points in 14 straight games.
