SUNRISE Dylan DeMelo Jersey Womens , Fla. (AP) — Bob Boughner is impressed with Aleksander Barkov.Boughner thinks the center has raised his play to a new level.Barkov reached 30 goals for the first time in his career, helping the Panthers rout the Detroit Red Wings 6-1 on Sunday.“The first few years you feel your way around the league,” Boughner said. “It’s a learning process on how to be a pro and how to be consistent.“Barky’s mastered that. Now he’s elite. He’s an elite hockey player.”The 23-year-old Barkov had at least 21 goals in each of the previous three seasons, but he had never got to 30 until he made it 6-1 7:44 into the third period. He also picked up his 47th assist when Jonathan Huberdeau scored the first of Florida’s three third-period goals.Barkov has 24 points in his last 13 games. It was the 400th NHL game for Florida’s captain, who had a club-record five assists Friday against Minnesota.“That means I’m playing with really good players who can pass the puck. I just try to find the open spot and try to work with my shot too,” Barkov said.Josh Brown and Dryden Hunt each scored their first NHL goal as Florida earned its second straight win since a costly six-game slide. Jamie McGinn and Frank Vatrano also scored.Making his third NHL start, Sam Montembeault stopped 19 shots as the Panthers finished their season series against the Red Wings with a 3-0-1 record.The 22-year-old Montembeault had his best moment in the first period, denying Andreas Athanasiou on a breakaway at 10:25.“When he tried to make his move, he kind of juggled the puck a little bit, so I just tried to poke-check it, and he just tapped it on net and I made a pad save Gabriel Gagne Jersey Womens ,” Montembeault said.Brown, Hunt and Montembeault all started the season at Springfield in the American Hockey League.“That’s what makes it so special,” Hunt said. “We all kind of grinded it out in Springfield.”Thomas Vanek had a power-play goal for Detroit, which dropped to 1-7-3 in its past 11 games. Jimmy Howard had 37 saves.The Panthers scored twice in their first nine shots during an impressive first period.Troy Brouwer held the puck on a rush, skated in backward below the goal line and fired a slick pass back to Brown, trailing in the high slot. The defenseman then beat Howard on the glove side at 6:42.McGinn scored just 13 seconds into a power play when he shoved in a rebound of Aaron Ekblad’s blast from the left circle for his third goal at 9:22.Vatrano kept a puck alive in a board battle in the second period, and Mike Hoffman slid a pass around to Ekblad, who fired a shot that Vatrano deflected in for his 21st goal and first in 12 games.Vanek cut the deficit to 3-1 with his 14th goal at 12:24, converting a one-timer from the left circle off a pass from Frans Nielsen.“They just had Grade A chance after Grade A chance. Pretty fun night for them, pretty awful for us,” Vanek said.“We weren’t skating or mentally sharp and made them look like an All-Star team over there.”Opening the third period on the power play James Van Riemsdyk Jersey Womens , Florida went up 4-1 when Evgenii Dadonov threaded a pass on Huberdeau’s 22nd goal, and Hunt made it 5-1 when he scored off a clever pass from Riley Sheahan at 2:51.NOTES: Detroit C Dylan Larkin (back) missed his third straight game. The 22-year-old Larkin, who has a team-best 27 goals and 35 assists, will be re-evaluated on Monday and is expected to return this season. … Brown’s first NHL goal came in his 24th game, Hunt in his 33rd.UP NEXTRed Wings: At Montreal on Tuesday.Panthers: At San Jose on Thursday. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Montreal didn’t need all 240 characters to express on Twitter the importance of beating the Flyers: “Les Canadiens remportent une grosse victoire !” In any language, this much was clear for a team making a desperate playoff push, the Canadiens won a big one.Brendan Gallagher, Shea Weber and Max Domi scored goals, Carey Price stopped 32 shots and the Canadiens earned a 3-1 win over the fading Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night.“We can win our games, that’s all we can control,” Weber said.The Canadiens and Flyers are both chasing a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Montreal entered three points behind Columbus for eighth place in the East and the Flyers were six points out with 78.With less than 10 games left for each team Matt Cullen Jersey Womens , time has about run out for the Flyers to complete their second-half surge toward the postseason. The Canadiens, well, they have a playoff pulse after losing two straight and four of five overall.“I think maybe we’ve been a little bit preoccupied with what’s been going on around the league,” Gallagher said. “We’ve got to do a better job with just focusing on ourselves.”Price was never seriously tested by a Flyers team that seemed listless in front of an empty Wells Fargo Center. The biggest cheers were reserved for the prizes awarded on fan appreciation night.“I feel we didn’t have a lot of urgency and were working through the motions,” Flyers captain Claude Giroux said. “We didn’t play bad, but we didn’t play good.”Gallagher scored his 31st goal on a slapper from the slot in the first for a 1-0 lead. Gallagher, who had his first NHL hat trick against the Flyers on Feb. 21, has done his part to keep the Flyers out of the playoff picture. He scored his fourth goal in three games against Philly and provided all the offense Price needed.Weber turned a faceoff win into his 12th goal of the season in the second and the Canadiens got the better of rookie goalie Carter Hart. Hart came off a sensational 41-save victory at Pittsburgh that kept Philly afloat for one more game.But the odds are stacked against the Flyers — just a 2.6 percent chance of making the postseason headed into the game — under interim coach Scott Gordon.Sean Couturier scored his 30th goal of the season in the third on the power play to give the Flyers a flicker of hope for a comeback. But they had nothing left and Domi knocked in an empty-netter with 1:05 remaining to seal the win.“I think we made it easy on them,” Couturier said. “I don’t want to say we weren’t urgent or we didn’t come out strong. It could have went one way or the other.”Notes: Flyers D Philippe Myers and Samuel Morin were scratched because of illness. … Price made his fifth straight start. … Couturier had his second straight 30-goal season. … The Flyers did not allow Montreal a power-play opportunity, the fifth time they’ve held an opponent without one this season.UP NEXTMontreal: Hosts the Islanders on Thursday.Philadelphia: Plays Thursday at Chicago.
