Agostino, Hutton leave Flyers in the blues
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 08 - 02 - 2017

[caption id="attachment_118263" align="alignleft" width="233"] Arizona Coyotes' Shane Doan, back, celebrates with Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald after Fitzgerald scored a goal during a practice session Monday in Glendale, Ariz. — AP[/caption]PHILADELPHIA — Kenny Agostino scored his first goal in almost three years and Carter Hutton had 26 saves as the St. Louis Blues beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-0 on Monday night.
Paul Stastny also scored for St. Louis, which won for the second time in three games after coach Mike Yeo replaced Ken Hitchcock on Feb. 1, following a 1-5-0 stretch. Hutton, who allowed 13 goals in his three previous appearances, posted his first shutout since Jan. 24 and No. 3 on the season.
Michal Neuvirth made 14 stops for Philadelphia, which has lost three of four. The 24-year-old Agostino was recalled from the minors when the team announced Sunday that forward Robby Fabbri will miss the rest of the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
He scored on a breakaway 2:10 into the third period, beating Neuvirth under the crossbar to give the Blues a 2-0 lead. It was his first NHL goal since April 4, 2014, as a rookie with Calgary.
Islanders 6, Maple Leafs 5, OT
Brock Nelson's second goal of the game at 2:42 of overtime lifted the Islanders to the win. Trailing 5-4 late in the third period, the Islanders pulled goalie Thomas Greiss and tied it on Andrew Ladd's deflection with 1:29 left.
Josh Bailey had a goal and two assists, Ryan Strome contributed a goal and an assist, and Nikolay Kulemin also scored for the Islanders. New York stopped a two-game skid and improved to 6-0-2 in its last eight at home.
Auston Matthews, Mitchell Marner, Nikita Soshnikov, Zach Hyman and William Nylander scored for Toronto, which finished 2-4-0 on a season-high six-game trip. Frederik Andersen made 28 saves.
Devils 2, Sabres 1
Pavel Zacha scored on a power play with 7:27 remaining, and New Jersey snapped a seven-game home losing streak. Adam Henrique also scored a power-play goal, Mike Cammalleri had two assists and Cory Schneider made 22 saves as the Devils won at the Prudential Center for the first time since Jan. 2.
New Jersey is 3-0-1 since the All-Star break. Tyler Ennis scored for the Sabres, and Robin Lehner made 37 saves.
Zacha's game-winner was reviewed after Buffalo coach Dan Bylsma argued Henrique interfered with Lehner. Cammalleri took a shot from the right point and Lehner could not glove the high shot because Henrique appeared to hit the base of his glove with his stick. The referees looked at it on replay and let it stand.
Malkin practices but return from knee injury uncertain
Evgeni Malkin's lower-body injury is healing. So too, are the 2012 MVP's feelings about being left off the NHL's 100 Greatest Players list unveiled at the All-Star game last month in conjunction with the league's centennial season. Malkin joked on Monday he's "trying to forget" being passed over for a list that included teammate Sidney Crosby as well as Pittsburgh Penguins owner Mario Lemieux.
"I'm proud what team say, what Mario say, proud of family, fans and my friends they support me," Malkin said. "I did my best. What I can do is nothing. All 100 players is legend. They deserve to be (on the) list."
Malkin's teammates felt the three-time All-Star and two-time Stanley Cup champion should have made the cut, too. The 30-year-old Russian downplayed any anger over the snub in typically self-deprecating fashion. "Maybe I win a couple more trophies, couple more Stanley Cups," Malkin said. "Next year 101(st) year, maybe they send me great black jacket and I will be 101."
The Penguins will certainly be in the mix to repeat this spring and Malkin's presence at practice on Monday is a sign his stay on the injured reserve may be nearing an end. Malkin hasn't played since getting hurt in a shutout loss to St. Louis on Jan. 24. He wore a non-contact jersey while skating for an hour with his teammates before doing some individual work.
"I want to be back soon," said Malkin, who will not play Tuesday against Calgary. "But have to be careful. It's not ready but day by day."
Malkin is second on the team in goals (22) and points (54), trailing only Crosby. The Penguins are 3-1 during Malkin's absence. Pittsburgh is tied for the third best record in the NHL, but that's only good enough for second in the Metropolitan Division behind streaking Washington.
Penguins coach Mike Sullivan is encouraged by Malkin's progress but said the team needs to see how Malkin holds up in a full-contact workout before he can be cleared. "He told me he felt really strong," Sullivan said.
The Penguins have been forced to scramble of late due to a series of injuries. Forward Carl Hagelin did not practice on Monday after entering the league's concussion protocol following a hit to the head from St. Louis forward Alexander Steen in a 4
