PHILADELPHIA -- The Ottawa Senators paid the price for going after Danny Briere. #10 Nike Elite Chase Daniel Mens Jersey Chiefs Road White . Briere scored all three Philadelphia goals, including the game-winner at 4:54 of overtime, to propel the Flyers to a 3-2 victory over Ottawa on Saturday. The victory was the second straight for the Flyers and their third victory in their past four games. The loss snapped Ottawas four-game winning streak. "It was an inspiring effort by Danny," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. "He was skating and in the battles and got knocked around. He was taking some and giving some. He has to be willing to take that from some big guys. You watch a guy like that, and I know it was a couple of skill guys, but Danny is not a big guy, hes a flyweight. But he gave our guys a lift, and he had a monster game." Brieres fifth career hat trick came after a little push to the head by Ottawas Kyle Turris that stirred a fight late in the second period. The unlikely agitator was Briere, who last fought Nov. 20, 2009. "It was a cheap shot on (Turris) part, he came down with a crosscheck to the back of my head when I was in a vulnerable position on the ice, he scraped my face on the ice and there was a lot of frustration there," Briere said. "After that, I took the adrenaline and used it. I didnt think I got a fair shot and I felt I had to do something about it." Turris and Briere had been jousting. "It was a back-and-forth play, he gave me a shot, I gave him a shot back, we went in the box," Turris said. "When we got out he gave me a shot, he asked me to go, during the faceoff we were talking back and forth and decided to go." Briere now has 13 goals this season. "I had the feeling they were going to play casual, with less than 15 seconds left in the period and knew I didnt have a lot of room," Briere said. "I was just trying to jam the puck in there and get something going and lucky to find the puck." Ilya Bryzgalov finished with 35 saves for the Flyers. Ottawas Craig Anderson had 36 saves. The teams traded goals in the third period. Briere scored at 9:12 of the period on a deflection off Ottawa defenceman Chris Phillips stick, tying the game at 2-2. Ottawas Bobby Butler had given the Senators a 2-1 lead, poking in a rebound at 6:43. Ottawa tied the game at 1-1 on a tap-in by Milan Michalek at 11:05 of the second period on the power play. The goal was Michaleks 20th of the season. The point earned for the overtime loss keeps the Senators in the tight Eastern Conference playoff mix with 48 points. Ottawa is 7-1-2 in its last 10 games. The Senators get another chance at Philadelphia in the home-and-home series Sunday night in Ottawa. "It was a great game (tonight), I dont like the way we started, but for 50 minutes of the game, we played well enough to have the lead and in overtime that stuff happens," Senators coach Paul MacLean said. "I thought we have grown as a team every day and tonight showed we can play (since the first game with the Flyers), we had a real legit chance to win the game." Notes: Philadelphias Scott Hartnell played in his 800th career game. Hartnell had his seven-game point streak snapped. Philadelphias Claude Giroux also had his four-game points streak broken.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- Billy Hurley III doesnt plan to lose much rest sitting on a third-round lead for the first time on the PGA Tour. The former U.S. Navy officer shot a 3-under 67 on Saturday to extend his advantage to two strokes over Angel Cabrera entering the final round of the Greenbrier Classic. "Ive been working for a long time to win on the PGA Tour," Hurley said. "I figure if I shoot the lowest score tomorrow, I cant lose." Hurley never relinquished the lead he has held since midway through the second round at Old White TPC. He birdied the par-5 12th and par-4 13th before dropping a stroke on the par-3 15th. He had a 12-under 198 total. No third-round leader has won the Greenbrier Classic, now in its fifth year. Playoffs have decided the tournament twice. Cabrera shot 64. Hes looking for his first non-major win on the PGA Tour. Kevin Chappell was third at 9 under after a 69. Steve Stricker had a 68 to top the group at 8 under. There will be more than a trophy to raise and a $1.2 million winners check available Sunday. The four best finishers not previously eligible for the British Open among the top 12 on the final leaderboard will earn spots in the July 17-20 tournament at Royal Liverpool. Hurley finished his five-year Navy service in 2009 and would still be a naval officer if golf wasnt keeping him busy. He returned to the PGA Tour this year after playing on the Web.com Tour in 2013. He said nerves wont play a part in how he gets ready for what could be a memorable Sunday. "Im going to keep doing what Im doing," he said. "I just want to put my mind in position so that I can play well. I slept fine last night. The benefit of the Navy if you learn how to sleep anywhere. I think Ill sleep fine tonight, too." Cabrera wore an Argeentine blue shirt in the third round and is riding his countrys momentum in the World Cup, including Saturdays 1-0 win over Belgium to advance to the semifinal round.

"I was very happy when I found out they won," Cabrera said, adding that he was equally as giddy when he started his round with four birdies on the first six holes. Old White sets up nicely for Cabreras long drives and he made four birdie putts of 19 feet or longer. "I was able to get the speed of the greens, and that was the big difference," Cabrera said. At the Wells Fargo Championship in May, Cabrera was the second-round leader but closed with a pair of 75s. Another under-par round Sunday would mark the first time that he has had four rounds in the 60s since the 2010 Deutsche Bank Championship. Chappell barely got anything going until making a 12-foot putt for birdie on the par-5 17th. "I dont think Ive had my best ball-striking day yet," he said. "Hopefully, my putter gets hot and (it) should be fun." Joining Stricker in the group at 8 under were Michael Thompson (64), Cameron Tringale (64), Will Wilcox (65), Joe Durant (66), Camilo Villegas (67) and Chris Stroud (70). Stricker, in his eighth tour event this year, will compete next week at John Deere and is leaning against going to the British Open unless he has one or more high finishes before then. The highlight of Strickers third round was a bending 42-foot putt for birdie on the first hole. He was 1 over on his round at the turn before making three birdies the rest of the day. "Anything can happen and thats the truth," Stricker said. "There are not a lot of guys in between me and the lead ... but there are a ton of guys right behind us. So anybody can come out of the pack here."wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |
