Philadelphia Flyers (5) - Los Angeles Kings (3)

Philadelphia Flyers (5) - Los Angeles Kings (3)

November 6, 1999

The teams with the top two power plays met and when it was over, the Los Angeles Kings demonstrated why theirs will be suffering over the next several weeks. The Philadelphia Flyers killed off two short-handed situations in the final eight minutes and escaped with a 5-3 victory on Saturday night.

Eric Desjardins scored the go-ahead goal early in the second period, and Mikael Andersson and John LeClair added goals for the Flyers. Desjardins and Eric Lindros each had two assists, Mark Recchi connected on a power play goal and Mark Greig also scored for the Flyers, who are 8-1-1 since starting the season 0-4-2.

"Hopefully we'll keep the confidence going because we've got everybody playing with a lot of steam out there," Flyers goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck said.

Desjardins and Greig scored less than four minutes apart, giving the Atlantic Division-leading Flyers a 4-2 lead they would no relinquish. Desjardins got his fifth goal on a slap shot from the right point. Greig then slapped his third goal of the season through goaltender Stephane Fiset's pads from the middle of the right circle.
