Philly Gets By Blues

Evgeny Medvedev scored on a wrist shot with 3:13 left, lifting the Flyers to a 4-3 comeback victory over the St. Louis Blues on Monday night.

The Blues jumped out to a 3-0 lead on Paajarvi's breakaway goal midway through the second period. The goal was set up when Philadelphia's Pierre-Edouard Bellemare fell down at the Flyers blue line. Paajarvi took the puck the other way and beat Steve Mason through the legs.

Robby Fabbri, Kevin Shattenkirk and Magnus Paajarvi scored for St. Louis, which had won three straight.

Wayne Simmonds had a pair of goals and Chris VandeVelde also scored for Philadelphia, which enters a five-day Christmas hiatus with eight wins in its last 12 games.

Medvedev received a nice backhand pass from Ryan White and fired the puck high past Jake Allen on his blocker side.

Simmonds tied it 51 seconds into the third period with a rare power-play goal against the Blues, who entered leading the NHL in killing penalties at 87.8 percent.

Jakub Voracek took the initial shot with a one-timer from just above the right circle, and Simmonds deflected it past Allen.

Mason had 25 saves.
