SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Wayne Simmonds and the Philadelphia Flyers played a strong game in front of Steve Mason, and the goaltender was there when needed.
Mason made 38 saves and Simmonds had a goal and an assist, helping the Flyers beat the Florida Panthers 3-1 on Tuesday night.
Simmonds scored an even-strength goal in the first period and assisted Nick Cousins on the second of Philadelphia’s power-plays in the second.
Dale Weise also scored for the Flyers, and rookie Travis Konecny and Brayden Schenn had assists.
Losing the puck had been a huge problem for the Flyers in a recent stretch when they lost five out of seven games.
