Simmonds leads Flyers over Predators
Hockey Betting Lines
02/02/2012 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wayne Simmonds scored twice and Ilya Bryzgalov made 26 saves as Philadelphia came away with a 4-1 decision over Nashville on Thursday.
Matt Read also tallied and Claude Giroux saw a lengthy goal drought ended for the Flyers, who shook off a shootout loss at home to Winnipeg on Tuesday.
Ryan Suter provided the sole offense for the Predators, whose five-game win streak came to a halt. Anders Lindback allowed three goals on 27 shots in defeat.
The Preds cut their deficit to 2-1 at 8:37 of the third period as a defensive breakdown allowed Craig Smith to break free along the right-wing side and pass across to Suter for a successful wrister.
But Simmonds gave the Flyers some insurance with 4:41 remaining, slamming home a Giroux rebound from atop the crease during a power play.
Jaromir Jagr then fed Giroux for his streak-busting score into the empty net with 1:05 to play. The 24-year-old, who entered play four points behind Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin for the NHL scoring lead, hadn't lit the lamp since the Winter Classic on January 2.
Nashville had a goal waved off just after the midway point of the first period on a power play when Smith was ruled to have deflected a Shea Weber shot home with a clear high stick.
Simmonds put the hosts on the board with 4:19 left in the period, ripping a turnaround shot home from the inner edge of the right circle.
The Flyers enjoyed a 5-on-3 edge midway through the middle period for a 1:34 span but failed to mount much pressure on the advantage.
Nonetheless, Read stripped Preds defenseman Kevin Klein at the Philly blue line minutes later, flew up the left wing and beat Lindback through the five- hole for 2-0 lead with 5:28 left.
