LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to find ways to overcome their own mistakes.They proved it against the floundering Los Angeles Kings Matt Hunwick Jersey Womens , putting together their first winning streak of the season in the process.Oskar Lindblom had a goal and an assist as the Flyers defeated the Kings 5-2 on Thursday night.Ivan Provorov scored for the second straight game and the Flyers won consecutive games for the first time. Brian Elliott made 25 saves, and Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds each had a goal.“We’ve played pretty good hockey at different times,” coach Dave Hakstol said. “We just haven’t been consistent enough from one game to the next. And there’s been games we haven’t been consistent enough period to period. That’s what we’ve been able to do the last two nights is put consistent play together for 60 minutes.”Ilya Kovalchuk had a goal and an assist, and Jeff Carter scored a power-play goal for the Kings, who have lost seven of eight. Los Angeles has allowed at least three goals in each of those eight games.Jack Campbell, who will be the starting goalie for three to six weeks as Jonathan Quick recovers from knee surgery, made 26 saves.Lindblom made it 3-1 at 14:05 of the second period when a video review determined he kicked the puck in off Kings defenseman Sean Walker’s stick, confirming the original call on the ice.Kovalchuk cut the deficit to 3-2 at 18:49, his fifth point in two games. Kovalchuk has two goals and three assists during that span.Giroux put the Flyers back up by two at 14:27 of the third, and Robert Hagg added an empty-net goal at 16:49.“It’s not where we want it to be Jeff Skinner Jersey Womens , but I think we’re doing lots of good things,” Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas said. “I think we’re stepping in the right direction.”The Flyers went in front 2-1 on Simmonds’ goal at 10:53 of the second, 49 seconds after Carter scored on a backhand following up his own rebound.Philadelphia mounted a similar response in a 3-2 win at Anaheim on Tuesday, with Nolan Patrick scoring the winner 21 seconds after the Flyers allowed the tying goal.“We’re learning from our mistakes earlier,” said center Sean Couturier, who had an assist. “It’s a long game and we’re getting some good response right after, and we need that. It’s a tight game, you’ve got to keep playing. The next line, that’s two games in a row where we do a great job getting a big lead back.”While the Flyers have been better able to respond positively to those circumstances, Carter viewed allowing the goal so quickly as a reflection of the Kings’ largely stagnant play.“It’s just kind of the way things are going right now for us Jaycob Megna Jersey Womens ,” he said. “We need to stick together and use that positive momentum to our advantage. We’re getting it and we’re giving it right back. It’s tough right now.”Provorov put the Flyers ahead 1-0 at 17:35 of the first period, scoring in the slot on a one-timer from Dale Weise.Jordan Weal pressured defenseman Derek Forbort into losing the puck in the neutral zone, the kind of breakdowns Kings coach John Stevens said have been occurring too frequently.“A step slow with the puck, and a step slow checking to get the puck back, and too much time in your zone,” Stevens said. “Too many bad things happening.”NOTES: Flyers G Michal Neuvirth did not dress for what the team described as precautionary reasons. Calvin Pickard served as Elliott’s backup. … Kings D Paul LaDue is day to day after sustaining an upper-body injury in practice Wednesday. … Flyers forward Corban Knight will be out four months after undergoing surgery on his collarbone.UP NEXTFlyers: Visit the San Jose Sharks on Saturday.Kings: Continue their seven-game homestand Saturday against Columbus. The Detroit Red Wings will be looking for their first win of the season when they visit the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre on Monday.The Red Wings (0-3-2) are one of two teams, along with the Florida Panthers (0-2-1), still looking for their first win in this young NHL season.The Red Wings have lost their first five games of a season for the first time since 1980-81.Article continues below ...Detroit is coming off an 8-2 loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday and have been outscored 23-11 this season. Their minus-12 goal differential is the worst in the NHL by four goals.The Red Wings had a meeting before practice in Montreal on Sunday.“I showed 19 (video) clips today,” coach Jeff Blashill told the Detroit Free Press. “Not one of them were clips where we didn’t have enough talent to win. That’s not the case. We have good enough players to win, without a shadow of a doubt. We have to make sure that we are doing the work and winning the battles that it takes to win.”Detroit center Frans Nielsen said the Red Wings made it easy for the Bruins and that’s going to have to change for the Red Wings to get into the win column.“They didn’t really have to work for the scoring chances they got Max Jones Jersey Womens ,” Nielsen told NHL.com. “I think we basically gave them odd-man rushes against. We’ve got to do a way better job of managing the puck and being harder to play against. This is just so far from what we want to be.”Detroit goaltender Jonathan Bernier made 31 saves against the Bruins.Red Wings defenseman Danny DeKeyser aggravated a hand injury against the Bruins in the first period and did not return. It is expected either rookie Dennis Cholowski or Luke Witkowski will play in his place against the Canadiens.The Red Wings will be playing the second game of a four-game road trip against the Canadiens, who are off to a 2-1-1 start after coming back for a 4-3 shootout win at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.The Canadiens, who lost 3-0 to the Los Angeles Kings in Montreal’s home opener Thursday, trailed the Penguins 2-0 after one period. Tomas Tatar had his first two goals as a Canadien and Brendan Gallagher scored for the Canadiens against the Penguins to help rally them to the win.Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin, off to a slow start this season, scored the game deciding goal in the shootout and had his first point of the season, an assist on Tatar’s second goal. It was his 100th career assist.“We knew we weren’t playing the right way or skating,” Drouin told the team’s website of the Canadiens start against the Penguins. “We were going back to those bad habits from last year and not throwing pucks at the net. You look at those goals, they’re not pretty to be honest.”“I think the whole team, we pulled together Andrej Sustr Jersey Womens , it wasn’t just our line,” Tatar, who played with Gallagher and Phillip Danault, told montrealcanadiens.com. “Everybody played well since the second period, and we had a lot of pressure since the second period started and I think everybody deserves the credit.” Goaltender Antti Niemi, who started in place of Carey Price, who was given the night off because of the flu, made 25 saves and stopped Penguins stars Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby in the shootout.The Canadiens had the day off Sunday.
