Final
Carter, Flyers look to build off latest win
Feb 25, 2009 - 11:30 AM Los Angeles (26-24-9) at Philadelphia (32-17-9), 7:00 p.m. ESTPHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- All-Star Jeff Carter and the Philadelphia Flyers look to build of their latest win when they host the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday.
Carter ended a five-game scoring drought in the Flyers' last contest. He is tied with New Jersey's Zach Parise for second in the NHL in goals with 35.
Scott Hartnell, Arron Asham and Carter scored in just over a three-minute span in the third period Tuesday as Philadelphia netted four unanswered goals en route to a 4-2 triumph over the Washington Capitals.
Rookie Claude Giroux netted a power-play goal, Joffrey Lupul notched a pair of assists and Antero Niittymaki turned aside 33 shots for the Flyers, who improved to 6-2-0 in their last eight contests.
Philadelphia will play seven of its next nine games at home, where it is 17-8-3 this season.
The Kings, meanwhile, snapped a two-game skid with their latest victory.
Rookie defenseman Drew Doughty scored the decisive goal in the fourth round of the shootout Tuesday, lifting Los Angeles to a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild.
Fellow blue-liner Jack Johnson also tallied in the bonus format after tying the contest with a power-play goal in regulation for the Kings, who played without captain Dustin Brown.
Brown, who ranks second on the team with 23 goals and 48 points this season, missed the game due to the impending birth of his child.
Rookie Jonathan Quick turned aside 23 shots for Los Angeles, which had lost five of its previous six contests.
