PITTSBURGH (AP) — Trevor Zegras scored the only goal of the shootout to help the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 on Saturday night.
Owen Tippett, Alex Bump and Denver Buckey scored for the Flyers, and Dan Vladar stopped 20 shots.

Tommy Novak, Rickard Rakell and Erik Karlsson scored for the Penguins, and Stuart Skinner stopped 12 shots a day after Pittsburgh’s Evgeni Malkin was suspended for five games. Also absent is Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who will miss at least four weeks with a lower-body injury.
Less than a minute after Novak opened the scoring for the Penguins, Tippett scored his 20th goal of the season. This marked Tippett’s fourth consecutive season with at least 20 goals.
Bump scored in his NHL debut to tie the game at 2. Rucker gave the Penguins a 2-1 lead early in the second period and, with his family in the stands, just over a minute later, he scored on the short side after receiving a no-look pass from Nikita Grebenkin.
Carlson scored a minute later, and Barkley scored midway through the second quarter to tie the score at 3.
