Flyers 4, Oilers 1
Jeff Carter scored two goals and the Philadelphia Flyers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the visiting Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
Daniel Briere had a goal and an assist and Blair Betts added an empty-netter for the Eastern Conference-leading Flyers, who bounced back from Sunday's embarrassing 7-0 loss to the New York Rangers.
Sergei Bobrovsky made 24 saves to register his first victory since Feb. 24 as the Flyers beat the Oilers for the first time since March 2001.
Philadelphia came out with a purpose, peppering Edmonton goaltender Devan Dubnyk with 17 shots to take a 2-0 first-period lead.
Briere ended an eight-game goal-scoring drought at 8:54 and Carter, who had missed two of the previous three games with the flu, doubled the margin with a power-play tally at 17:40. Edmonton did not get a shot on goal until the 18:46 mark.
Carter made it 3-0 at 7:05 of the second before Jean-Francois Jacques answered 55 seconds later for the Oilers, who saw their three-game winning streak halted.
Dubnyk made 23 saves.
