PHILADELPHIA -- Dale Weise and Wayne Simmonds each had a goal, an assist and a fight in the first period, and the Philadelphia Flyers never looked back in a 6-3 dismantling of the New York Islanders on Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
Sean Couturier added a goal and two assists, the same total as Simmonds. Brayden Schenn picked up two assists, and Jordan Weal, Radko Gudas and Valtteri Filppula added goals for the Flyers (37-32-8), who won for the third straight game to keep their fading playoff hopes alive.
It was also the third consecutive win for goaltender Steve Mason (38 saves), who improved to 25-21-7.
