Philadelphia tops Chicago 3-1
(CHICAGO) – Carter Hart is looking to help the Philadelphia Flyers rally into a playoff spot. If the 20 year old rookie is feeling any pressure, it's hard to tell. Hart made 40 saves and James van Reimsdyk snapped a tie in the third period, helping the Flyers beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 on Thursday night. Corban Knight also scored as Philadelphia picked up a sorely needed victory after dropping three of four. The Flyers (36-30-8) moved within five points of the second wild card in the Eastern Conference. Hart made his fourth start since returning from a lower-body injury. He has stopped 114 of 118 shots in his last three games. Chicago (32-31-10) missed out on a chance to gain ground in the race for the second wild card out West. Erik Gustafsson scored and Corey Crawford made 25 stops.
