LAS VEGAS (AP) One week after the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl Jonathan Marchessault Jersey , chants of ¡±Fly, Eagles, Fly¡± could be heard roughly 2,500 miles away from the City of Brotherly Love.A loud and exuberant contingent of Philadelphia fans donning orange among the 18,220 in attendance watched Sean Couturier score a goal and two assists to help the Flyers beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-1 on Sunday.And just like backup quarterback Nick Foles led the Eagles to their first Super Bowl championship, backup goalie Michal Neuvirth stepped up for injured starter Brian Elliott by shutting the door on back-to-back nights for the Flyers.One night after coming off the bench to stop five shootout attempts and help Philadelphia to a 4-3 win in Arizona, Neuvirth stopped 14 shots to improve to 7-7-2 on the year by defeating the Western Conference¡¯s top team.¡±It was huge coming off the bench yesterday and shutting the door, it gave me a lot of confidence coming into this game,¡± said Neuvirth, who was forced into Saturday¡¯s game when Elliott was injured while making a shootout save. ¡±It was a great game right from the start, great atmosphere, great crowd, and it¡¯s so much to fun to play in front of a crowd like that.¡±On the way to the rink from the hotel I saw so many fans wearing our jerseys. Back-to-back wins, with our tough schedule, it¡¯s huge for us.¡±The Flyers became just the fourth team to beat Vegas in regulation at T Mobile Arena.Andrew Macdonald, Claude Giroux and Radko Gudas also scored for Philadelphia, which improved to 20-8-2 since Dec. 4 ¨C when it ended a 10-game winless streak with a 5-2 victory at Calgary.¡±Coming off a back-to-back it¡¯s kind of tough to get the legs going, but we grinded it out,¡± Couturier said. ¡±They¡¯ve got a good team. I think they probably outplayed us most of the night. Neuvie kept us in the game and we got a few lucky bounces to get us going a little bit. Every game matters Womens Bobby Orr Jersey , every point is important. We found a way to win and that¡¯s all that matters.¡±The Flyers have won four straight to move into third place in the Metropolitan Division, just one point behind second-place Pittsburgh.¡±For a night like tonight, to win on a back-to-back, you have to have good goaltending, and you have to have a whole bunch of guys that are willing to lay it on the line and scratch and claw and find a way,¡± Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said. ¡±I think that sums up a little bit about our hockey team.¡±Brayden McNabb scored the lone goal for Vegas, which is 19-4-2 at home this season. Marc-Andre Fleury, now 27-18-2 lifetime versus Philadelphia, finished with 38 saves.The Golden Knights, who have 12 power-play goals in their last 10 games, had registered a goal with a man advantage in each of their previous nine games, which tied for the longest power-play goal streak this season. Vegas was 0-for-1 with their only power-play opportunity against the Flyers.¡±We got a ton of shots but nothing that was really dangerous ¨C that was the difference in the game,¡± Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said. ¡±I thought we played well in the first, thought the second was a bad one for us. They did a good job protecting the lead in the third. We weren¡¯t hungry enough tonight. We just weren¡¯t competitive enough to score those goals tonight.¡±McNabb opened the scoring with his fourth goal of the season at 11:22 of the first period, when he took a pass from Reilly Smith and skated in to beat Neuvirth with a blistering wrist shot on the goalie¡¯s glove side to give Vegas a 1-0 lead.After some nifty passing in the attacking zone, Couturier one-timed a pass from Travis Konecny through the legs of Fleury, tying the game at 1-all with a little more than 2 minutes left in the first. It was Couturier¡¯s team-leading 28th goal of the season.The Flyers scored twice late in the second period to take a 3-1 lead. First it was Couturier firing a shot that Macdonald deflected past Fleury with 2:52 remaining. Then, with 5.8 seconds left, Fleury¡¯s poke check turned into a pass for Giroux Marc-Andre Fleury Jersey , who scored his 199th career goal.Gudas¡¯ empty-netter with 2:26 to go provided the final margin.NOTES: Philadelphia¡¯s Jakub Voracek snapped an eight-game scoring streak. ¡­ Couturier needs just three goals to reach 100 in his career. ¡­ Vegas¡¯ Deryk Engelland is one point away from tying his career high at 17. ¡­ William Karlsson, who assisted on McNabb¡¯s goal, is two points shy of 100 for his career.UP NEXTPhiladelphia: Hosts New Jersey on Tuesday.Vegas: Hosts Chicago on Tuesday. DENVER (AP) Colorado defenseman Patrik Nemeth set career highs this season in goals, games and perhaps even grudges.See what a little chip on the shoulder can do?Waived by Dallas in October, he was claimed by Colorado soon after and has played an integral role in helping the Avalanche return to the postseason. He¡¯s not alone: These playoffs are filled with castoffs who were put on waivers, only to find a revamped role with a new team.It¡¯s not personal. It¡¯s just business. Players realize this. But still, being waived goodbye is hard to swallow.¡±Of course you want to prove them wrong,¡± said Nemeth, whose team trails 3-1 heading to Nashville for Game 5 on Friday night. ¡±You want to prove you can play and that they were wrong. That¡¯s always going to be in the back of your head ¨C at least for me.¡±When Avs defenseman Mark Barberio was cut by Montreal last year, so many thoughts swirled through his head: What went wrong? Next stop, the minors? Is there still even a role for him in the league?It was a whirlwind 24 hours ¨C the amount of time teams have to make a claim ¨C before the Avs picked him up.¡±Colorado saw something in me and decided to give me a chance,¡± Barberio said. ¡±I¡¯ve gotten a chance to play regular minutes, and a coaching staff I feel believes in me. I¡¯m trying to repay that faith every time I play.¡±That sort of feeling is shared by center Ryan Carpenter, who was claimed by Vegas from Anaheim on Dec. 13. He¡¯s now heading to the second round with the expansion Golden Knights. Carpenter had a key assist in a Game 3 win over Los Angeles.¡±It¡¯s amazing ¡­ how things can change in pro hockey,¡± Carpenter said on the team¡¯s website. ¡±I feel like a little kid right now playing in playoffs. It¡¯s exciting and we want to keep this thing going. It¡¯s nice when you feel like you¡¯re contributing. I never would¡¯ve though in the middle of December I¡¯d be playing right now.¡±Minnesota defenseman Nate Prosser was in a similar boat. He was claimed after St. Louis put him on waivers in late November, returning the nine-year NHL veteran to his home-state team for another stint. The Wild previously claimed Prosser off waivers from St. Louis on Oct. 2, 2014, after he had signed with the Blues that summer but was let go just before the season.A reliable defenseman, he has taken on added responsibility after an injury to Ryan Suter.¡±It puts the onus on the rest of us to amp up our game a little bit Nate Schmidt Jersey ,¡± Prosser said. ¡±Just different parts of the game we¡¯ve got to make sure we¡¯re honing in on.¡±Then there¡¯s Stefan Noesen , who¡¯s had quite a path to wind up with the New Jersey Devils. Drafted by Ottawa in the first round in 2011 and traded to Anaheim in ¡¯13, he was claimed by the Devils on Jan. 25, 2017. He had his first playoff goal in Game 3 against Tampa Bay.¡±Just because you get put on waivers doesn¡¯t necessarily mean you can¡¯t play,¡± Nemeth said. ¡±Sometimes the situation is the way it is and you need a new opportunity.¡±That was the case for Nemeth, a second-round pick by Dallas in 2010. He played in a career-high 68 games for Colorado, with three goals, 12 assists and a plus-27 rating, which was the highest by an Avalanche defenseman since Adam Foote in 2002-03 ¨C the benefits of a change in scenery.¡±It could be different scenarios,¡± Nemeth said of factors leading to being placed on waivers. ¡±Sometimes, it¡¯s just too many guys. Sometimes, your coach might not like you or might not appreciate what you bring to the table. It¡¯s just different, depending on what situation you¡¯re in. For me personally, it was good.¡±Avalanche defenseman Duncan Siemens went through the experience last fall ¨C with his own team. He was reassigned to San Antonio in the American Hockey League before spending the last seven weeks with Colorado. He made his playoff debut in the Predators series.¡±This is such a competitive league,¡± said Siemens, a first-round pick by Colorado in 2011. ¡±There are so many good hockey players out there. Your first chance could be your last chance. Anytime you get an opportunity, you have to make the most of it because you don¡¯t know if you¡¯re going to get another one.¡±¡ªAP Sports Writer Dave Campbell contributed to this report.¡ª
