A three-goal flurry late in the second period allowed the visiting Philadelphia Flyers to ease to a 4-1 win and snap the Vancouver CanucksB次元官网网址� nine-game point streak on Thursday night.

Egor Zamula, Sean Walker and Joel Farabee all netted goals across a span of two minutes and six seconds to break open the scoring.

Garnet Hathaway added the other for Philadelphia (19-11-4), which snapped a two-game losing skid.

Samuel Ersson stopped 18-of-19 shots in 42:36 of action as the starter in net. Carter Hart replaced Ersson in the third period and was perfect in facing eight shots.

Teddy Blueger had the lone response for Vancouver (23-10-3), which entered the contest having gone 7-0-2 in its last nine games.

Casey DeSmith stopped 21 shots in his sixth career start against the Flyers.

Zamula opened the scoring at 15:03 of the second period on a wrist shot from just inside the blue line that evaded everyone on its way in.

Travis Konecny led a breakout from PhiladelphiaB次元官网网址檚 own zone, passing to Owen Tippet who dove to make the final cross-ice pass to an open Walker who doubled the lead at 16:24.

Vancouver defenceman Nikita Zadorov went to lead an attack but was pickpocketed, with Farabee later finishing off the play at 17:03 of the middle frame.

Vancouver sought a way back into the game with Dakota Joshua driving up ice and finding an open Blueger, who scored his fifth of the season 25 seconds into the third period.
