ing five straight games as a healthy scratch, Philad

PHILADELPHIA - The Flyers found an easy way to get out of a recent funk — shoot the puck.Wayne Simmonds had a goal and an assist and four other Flyers scored in Philadelphias 5-1 rout of the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.I dont think a lot of guys were shooting the puck, Simmonds said. Everyone is starting to shoot the puck now. And when you get shots on net, youre going to get second and third opportunities. Thats when youre going to score.Scott Laughton got his first career goal and Sean Couturier, Jakub Voracek and Michael Raffl also scored for Philadelphia (11-13-5), which improved to 3-0-2 in its last five. Simmonds has five goals over the stretch.Eric Staal scored for Carolina (8-18-3), which dropped its fifth straight game. The Hurricanes have scored one goal in each of their last five contests.I dont think our execution was very good, Staal said. Obviously, its been frustrating. Weve played some good hockey before tonight, but tonight not good enough all around anywhere.Staal pulled the Hurricanes within 2-1 just over three minutes into the second period with a highlight-reel, wraparound tally that snapped Carolinas 0-for-14 skid on the power play. It was the 100th career power-play goal by the Carolina captain.But Voracek answered just under three minutes later by firing a wrist shot from close range past sprawling Carolina goalie Anton Khudobin after a nifty cross-ice pass from Simmonds.We needed a kill there, Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said. We have to compete, have to be better defensively, have to manage the puck, have to move the puck better and thatll give us a better chance.The power-play goal gave the Flyers a goal on the man-advantage in seven straight games.Khudobin, Carolinas backup, dropped to 0-7-2 this season. He made 18 saves.Steve Mason made 25 saves for Philadelphia.Lauhghton made it 4-1 with 12:31 left in the period by racing down the right side before going top shelf on Khudobins stick side. The 2012 first-round pick raised his arms in triumph after the tally. Laughton also assisted Simmonds first-period goal.When you score that goal you dont really remember anything, Laughton said. It definitely was a good feeling. Been a long time coming.Raffl scored on a rebound for Philadelphias third goal over a 5-minute, 11-second span of the second period, giving Philadelphia a four-goal advantage entering the final period.Flyers coach Craig Berube was pleased with how his team held the lead in the final 20 minutes.We kept skating in third period, kept moving the puck and doing the right thing, he said. I was impressed we kept skating and working and kept checking.The Flyers scored twice in the opening period, with Couturier staking Philadelphia to a 1-0 lead just 53 seconds into the contest by beating Khudobin from behind the net. It extended Couturiers point streak to six straight games, matching the longest such streak of his career. Couturier has three goals and four assists over the stretch.Simmonds made it 2-0 with 8:33 left in the first period when he ripped a slap shot from the right circle that zoomed past Khudobins blocker side.Besides getting more shots on goal, Simmonds said an increased focus on defence has helped of late.Weve been playing a lot better defensively and a lot more guys are starting to contribute offensively and its definitely helping, he said.Notes: After sitting five straight games as a healthy scratch, Philadelphia C Vincent Lecavalier (lower body) didnt dress Saturday due to injury. ...

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Hi Kerry, This may sound like a silly question but Im watching Anaheim and Vancouver Monday night and during a stoppage of play, I noticed that when the linesman Brian Mach No. 78, had gone over to help Eddie Lack with a small equipment issue with his chest protector - his fight strap was undone! I thought jerseys must be "tied down" properly at all times. Does this rule not apply to goalies? Thanks for all you do - the best to ever ref the NHL!Rachel Tilton Hi Rachel: Thank you for the kudos. All players of each team must be dressed uniformly with approved design and color of their team uniform. Altered uniforms of any kind, i.e. Velcro inserts, over-sized jerseys, altered collars, etc., will not be permitted. Any player or goalkeeper not complying with this rule shall not be permitted to participate in the game. A players jersey must be "tied down" properly at all times as per rule 9.3. It is very difficult to detect if a player is not properly tied down unless he becomes involved in an altercation. The only time that a penalty applies to a player not properly tied down is if he engages in a fight and his jersey is removed compleetely off his torso, in which case a game misconduct is assessed (46.dddddddddddd3). The exception to this application is when the opponent has been identified as the instigator; a game misconduct shall not be assessed regardless as to whether or not the player (non-instigator) was properly tied down. I have seen players who do not expect to fight (typically skilled players) participate in the game without tying down their jerseys. While this makes little sense, it their prerogative as it is next to impossible for the referee to detect (goalkeeper included). Specific to goalkeepers no inserts or additions are to be added to the standard goalkeeper-cut jersey as produced by the manufacturer unless approved by the League. In addition goalkeepers are not allowed any "tying down" of the sweater at the wrists if it creates a tension across the jersey such that a "webbing effect" is created in the armpit area. No other tie downs are allowed that create a webbing effect." The length of a jersey is illegal if it covers any area between the goalkeepers legs. In short, any excessive material that would provide the goalkeeper with added coverage of his net is not permitted. Unless a goalkeeper intended to fight during the game he would likely not snap the tab on the back of pants. ' ' '
