VANCOUVER -- Steve Mason had a busy night Monday, but he was not complaining.
DeVante Parker Dolphins Jersey . The
Philadelphia goaltender posted 41 saves as he backstopped the Flyers to a
comeback 4-3 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks. "It was the first time in
a long time that we have given up over 30 shots, so I actually enjoyed it," said
Mason. "It was nice to get into a game and feel like you are doing something out
there." Vincent Lecavalier scored the shootout winner as the Flyers prevailed
after trailing 2-1 in the second period and 3-2 late in the third. Lecavalier
scored on a deke on Philadelphias first attempt and three Vancouver shooters
could not beat Mason as the Flyers (19-16-4) posted their third straight win and
sixth in eight games. The Canucks (23-11-7) suffered only their third loss in
the past eight games. But more significantly, Vancouver missed a chance to move
into a tie for fifth place in the Western Conference after the Kings lost
earlier Monday to Chicago. "I thought we played good to get a point, but it
pisses me off we dont get two," said Vancouver coach John Tortorella. The Flyers
have not lost in Vancouver in nearly 14 years, with their last setback coming
Dec. 31, 1989, but they were in danger of suffering another loss here for most
of the game. Mark Streit, Claude Giroux and Brayden Schenn also scored for the
Flyers. Giroux also had an assist and further bolstered his chances of playing
for Canadas Olympic team as he extended his point streak to nine games.
Brayden Schenn forced overtime and the shootout as he scored in the final minute
of the third period after Daniel Sedin put the Canucks ahead with less than
three minutes remaining. Schenn made up for a miscue by his older brother Luke,
who inadvertently put the puck into his own net after Mason got his blocker on
Daniel Sedins long shot from near the blue-line. "I guess (there was) a little
brotherly love there," said Mason. "Luke was just trying to get back to the net
there and I was putting my rebound where I wanted to and just an unfortunate
bounce, things like that happen. (Its) just unfortunate it put us in that
position." Tom Sestito and Jannik Hansen had Vancouvers other goals. Hansen was
less than pleased after the Canucks lost despite outshooting the Flyers 44-27.
"This game had no business going into overtime," said Hansen. "We should have
closed this out quite earlier. a We need to score on our chances. Its not
because we dont have them. We had quality opportunities in the third and even in
overtime to get it done before the shootout." Mason, who recorded 42 saves, now
has matched the 16 wins he produced with Columbus in 2011-12, when a full
campaign was last played. Vancouver counterpart Eddie Lack, making his second
consecutive start and third appearance in place of injured No. 1 netminder
Roberto Luongo, finished with 25 saves. Tortorella was pleased that his club
earned three of a possible four points in back-to-back games after earning a win
the night before in Calgary. But he was angry that his team failed to control a
key face-off prior to Brayden Schenns tying goal. "The mistake on the face-off,
thats aggravating," said Tortorella. "Thats what keeps you out of playoffs,
plays like that, the details, the face-offs. I thought we played our ass off
back-to-back. We created a tremendous amount of scoring chances, but you kick
yourself in the teeth for the lack of detail on the face-off." Vancouver could
not score on its four power plays while Philadelphia was blanked on its three.
The Flyers led 1-0 after the first period and the clubs were tied 2-2 following
the second. Streit opened the scoring at 15:24 of the first period, putting in a
backhand shot as the puck came to him after Canucks defenceman Dan Hamhuis
denied Michael Raffl on a wraparound attempt. Sestito, a fourth-liner wanted
mostly for his toughness, forged a 1-1 tie at 4:24 of the second period as he
put in a Hamhuis rebound. With just under five minutes left in the second, Lack
took a Wayne Simmonds shot to the mask. Despite losing his headgear on the play,
Lack came up smiling and showed no ill effects. Less than a minute later, Hansen
put the Canucks ahead 2-1 as he completed a nifty give-and-go with Daniel Sedin
and tapped the puck into an open net. But Giroux pulled the Flyers even about
two minutes later as took a lead pass from Raffl, fought his way up the middle
through Hamhuis and Chris Tanev, and flicked the puck behind Lack from in close.
Masons late stellar stops included denying Daniel Sedin on a breakaway early in
the third and Ryan Kesler twice in the final minute of overtime. "Same story as
the start of the year," said Giroux. "He kept us in the games and now to kind of
get a win for him, its huge." Notes: Luongo worked out with Canucks goaltending
coach Roland Melanson during a morning skate that involved a few players,
including injured defenceman Alex Edler (undisclosed). a Simmonds was denied a
chance to become the first Flyer to score multiple goals in four consecutive
games in the 46-season history of the Philadelphia franchise. Reggie Leach (1976
and 1981) and Ross Lonsberry (1976) are the only other Flyers to record two or
more goals in three straight games. a Defenceman Frank Corrado played his first
game for Vancouver this season after being called up from Utica of the AHL
earlier in the day. He replaced Andrew Alberts, who was injured Sunday on a high
hit from Brian McGrattan in Calgary. McGrattan was assessed an elbowing major
and game misconduct for the infraction. Corrado played for the Canucks late in
the regular season and playoffs last season after playing his final junior
campaign in the OHL. a Canucks captain Henrik Sedin played in his 670th
consecutive NHL game. 02:55ET 31-12-13
