DALLAS (AP) — Scott Hartnell scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period to send the Philadelphia Flyers to a 3-2 victory over Dallas on Thursday night, dealing another blow to the Stars' playoff chances.
Hartnell set up to the left of Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen, and Jeff Carter's shot deflected off Hartnell, off the goal post, and over the goal line at 7:55.
Simon Gagne and Mike Richards had a goal and an assist each for the Flyers, who won on the road for the first time in five games.
Brian Boucher made 27 saves after the Flyers learned earlier in the day that top goalie Michael Leighton will be out at least eight weeks because of a high ankle sprain. Leighton was injured Tuesday night in a 4-3 shootout loss at Nashville.
