PHILADELPHIA -- Ivan Provorov admitted he was motivated to make his second career game against the Chicago Blackhawks a lot better than his first.The 19-year-old rookie defenseman did just that, scoring twice and prevented one by the Blackhawks to help the Philadelphia Flyers beat Chicago 3-1 on Saturday.Provorov was on the ice for five Blackhawks goals in their 7-4 at home over the Flyers on Oct. 18.I didnt play my best in that game, but I put it behind me, learned from it and it was a better result tonight, Provorov said I tried to use it as a positive thing and prove thats not me.Provorov scored 31 seconds apart early in the second period to help the Flyers get their fourth straight win. Brayden Schenn also scored and Steve Mason stopped 26 shots.Artemi Panarin scored his ninth of the season for the Blackhawks, who lost in regulation for the first time in five games, snapping a 3-0-1 streak. Scott Darling had 27 saves in his eighth appearance of the season.Darling was pressed into action after starter Corey Crawford underwent an emergency appendectomy.His procedure went pretty well today, hes probably going to be out two to three weeks, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. Thanks to our medical staff and the Flyers medical staff today. They did a great job of helping us out.Chicago was also without captain Jonathan Toews for the fourth straight game. Sidelined with a lower body injury, Toews remained in Chicago and is questionable for Sundays home game against his hometown Winnipeg Jets.The Blackhawks opened the scoring 3:44 in when Panarin took a pass from Artem Anisimov and one-timed a shot past Mason for his ninth of the season and his first in five games.Provorov took over from there. The Flyers top pick in the 2015 NHL draft (seventh overall) tied the score 3:02 into the second period when he blasted a shot past Darling for his second career NHL goal.Provorov gave the Flyers the lead 31 seconds later when he wristed a shot that fluttered past Darlings blocker for the first two-goal game of his career.He is a guy that continues to work at his game, and continues to build, Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said of Provorov. He didnt do a whole lot different tonight than he has really over the last 10 games. It was nice to see a couple of those pucks go in for him. They were good plays by him and the other guys on the ice, obviously that is really important for us at that time in the hockey game.Schenn gave the Flyers a 3-1 lead at the 8:37 of the second, taking a nice feed from rookie Travis Konecny and beating Darling from close range for his fourth.The Flyers biggest save of the night might have come from Provorov, who swatted a bouncing puck out of the goal crease with 3:22 remaining in the second period to preserve a two-goal lead.The Blackhawks thought they scored when Richard Panik jabbed a loose puck under Masons legs. But Provorov reached behind the goalie and swatted the puck off the goal line. After a video review, the officials ruled the replay inconclusive, denying Panik the goal.They obviously look at it real closely, Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said. Of course we wanted the goal but you just have to trust that they are doing everything they can and I do think they look at is as much as they can, so they know more than I do, but obviously we wanted to have that goal, but it happens.Game notes Flyers D Radko Gudas was a healthy scratch for the first time this season and was replaced with D Brandon Manning, who missed the previous two games with a concussion. ...

That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions. Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory. Alex Killorn and the Lightning wanted to keep the team together, and Tampa Bay made sure hed be part of its long-term future.On Sunday, the Lightning signed Killorn to a $31.15 million, seven-year contract to avoid arbitration and lock up another important player.Earlier this offseason, Tampa Bay signed captain Steven Stamkos for eight years and $68 million, defenseman Victor Hedman for eight years and $63 million, and goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy for three years and $10.5 million.After a trip to the Stanley Cup finals in 2015 and the Eastern Conference finals in 2016, Killorn saw the Stamkos contract and the potential for more postseason success and wanted keep the trend going.When you have your captain, the leader of your team, taking a pretty substantial discount, I think that sets a precedent for everyone else, Killorn said by phone. For me, it wasnt just about money. I think the contract was a great contract, but living in Florida, playing on a team that has a chance to compete for the Stanley Cup every year is important.Killorn, who turns 27 in September, will count $4.45 million against the salary cap through the 2022-23 season.He has 53 goals and 85 assists for 138 points in 272 regular-season NHL games. In 47 Stanley Cup playoff games, he has 15 goals and 18 assists.The native of Halifax, Nova Scotia, has 33 playoff points, fourth mmost among Canadian-born players over the past three years.dddddddddddd That total trails only Jonathan Toews and Duncan Keith of the Chicago Blackhawks and Ryan Getzlaf of the Anaheim Ducks.Ive been pretty fortunate because when you play on a team that does so well, obviously youre going to be put in those situations, Killorn said. I think playoff hockey kind of suits my style.Winning in the playoffs is what its all about for the Lightning, who needed to keep Killorns cap hit manageable because of three other restricted free agents who need contracts: forwards Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov and defenseman Nikita Nesterov.General manager Steve Yzerman said recently that negotiations with Kucherovs camp are ongoing, and Namestnikovs arbitration hearing is scheduled for July 29.If Yzerman can get the other deals done while navigating the salary cap, the Lightning should be one of the favorites to win the Cup next season and for several more years after that.Theres obviously still a couple guys that need to be signed, but it seems like most guys want to be here and want to be a part of this, Killorn said. Everyone really believes in the management and what theyre doing, so were just excited for the future. ' ' '
