Thomas Harley's OT goal lifts Stars over Flyers

Thomas Harley scored his second goal of the game nine seconds into overtime to lift the Dallas Stars to a 3-2 win against the visiting Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday afternoon.

Esa Lindell also scored and Jake Oettinger made 22 saves for the Stars (44-21-4, 92 points), who went beyond regulation for the fourth straight game (2-0-2).

Travis Konecny and Ryan Poehling scored for the Flyers (28-34-9, 65 points), who have lost four in a row and nine of 10 (1-8-1).

Ivan Fedotov stopped just one of three shots in the first period for the Flyers before he was replaced by Samuel Ersson, who finished with 15 saves.

Ersson turned the puck over just after the start of overtime and Jason Robertson passed to Harley for the game-winner.

The Stars took a 1-0 lead at 6:27 after winning a puck battle along the boards in the Flyers zone. Colin Blackwell got the puck to Harley near the left point and he brought the puck into the middle before scoring with a wrist shot through traffic.

The Stars scored on their second shot to extend the lead to 2-0 at 8:59.

Dallas won another battle for the puck in the corner of its zone, leading to a 3-on-3 rush the other way. Mikael Granlund pulled up above the right circle and fed a trailing Lindell, who scored with a wrist shot from above the hash marks.

The Flyers had been blanked in 10 of their past 11 periods when Konecny banked a shot off the inside of the far post from the right circle to cut it to 2-1 at 13:03 of the second period.

Dallas failed to capitalize on back-to-back power plays late in the second period.

Matt Duchene thought he scored late in the first penalty after Ersson made a right pad save and the puck hovered over the goal line before it was swept away by Flyers defenseman Emil Andrae, but replays did not conclusively show the puck completely crossing the goal line.

Poehling then scored on a breakaway with 1:12 left in the second period to tie it 2-2.
