NASHVILLE, Tenn. Authentic Derrick Nnadi Jersey . -- The Philadelphia Flyers are the hottest team in hockey.Wayne Simmonds scored two power-play goals and Philadelphia beat the Nashville Predators 4-2 on Sunday night to win its fifth consecutive game.Playing in front of a sellout crowd, the Flyers (14-10-3) earned their second road victory in two days against a Central Division team. They defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 3-1 on Saturday.The Predators (11-9-4) lost in regulation for only the second time in 12 home games this season.Weve got everything clicking. Our penalty kill has done a great job, our power play has scored some big goals and (goalie Steve Mason) has been standing on his head every night, Flyers defenseman Michael Del Zotto said. At the start of the year, wed have one good game and kind of get complacent. Now were just keeping our foot on the gas. We keep playing well, playing as five-man units.Simmonds, who leads the Flyers with 13 goals, scored twice against what had been a stingy Nashville penalty-kill at home. The Predators did not allow a power-play goal in their first 10 home games, but have given up three in their last two games.Hes doing what he does every night, Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said. If theres a better guy in the league net-front, whether its on power play or 5-on-5, I dont know who that is.What I really like about Simmer is that hes at net-front, hes scoring goals, hes on the power play. But hes a hard-nosed, 200-foot player.Michael Raffl gave Philadelphia its third one-goal lead with 3:23 left in the second period. He bulled his way past Nashville defenseman Mattias Ekholm, cut across the crease and slipped the puck beyond the reach of goalie Juuse Saros for a 3-2 advantage.Chris VandeVelde capped the scoring with an empty-net goal with 26.3 seconds remaining.Colin Wilson tied it at 2 for the Predators with 8:41 to go in the second, lifting a short-range backhand past Mason. Mike Fisher sent Wilson in alone on goal with a nice cross-ice pass from just inside the blue line.Nashville has 35 goals in the second period this season, one fewer than the team has totaled in the first and third combined.It was a tough weekend for the Predators, who lost to New Jersey 5-4 in overtime Saturday after the Devils rallied from a three-goal deficit in the third period.Last night was a great effort until the third period and we had a meltdown there, Nashville forward Filip Forsberg said Sunday. That cant happen, and today it was kind of the opposite. We started off not good and then we kind of got going as the game went. ... Everyone needs the points no matter where you are in the standings and the inspiration level has to be higher from the start.Simmonds second power-play goal of the night put the Flyers up 2-1 with 13:13 left in the second period. Simmonds stationed himself in front of the Nashville net and stuffed a shot under Saros.The Predators tied it 1-all with 16:43 left in the second when Calle Jarnkrok scored his fourth goal of the season. Jarnkrok redirected Ekholms drive from the blue line past Mason.The Flyers converted on their second power play of the game to take a 1-0 lead with 1:48 left in the opening period. Brayden Schenn ripped a shot from the faceoff circle, and Simmonds goal-mouth deflection bounced off the knob of Saros stick and into the net.Game notes Nashville forward Reid Boucher, picked up off waivers from New Jersey on Saturday, made his Predators debut. ... Philadelphias Claude Giroux got his 367th career assist, moving past Rod BrindAmour into sixth place in franchise history. ... The game marked the fourth of 13 sets of back-to-back games for the Predators this season. ... The Flyers played their seventh set of back-to-back games, and will play another one next weekend. ...

BOULDER, Colo. -- Colorado senior Derrick White stared at the stat sheet as he sat down and just grimaced.His coach shared his disgust, especially those 19 turnovers and 15 missed free throws.The stats were made a whole lot more palatable by these numbers -- a 67-55 win over Seattle on Monday night in a regional round of the Legends Classic.That was the definition of winning ugly right there, Colorado coach Tad Boyle said. We were not very good offensively tonight, obviously, on a lot of different levels. But to figure out a way to win on a night when youre not functioning that well offensively is a testament to our guys will and their toughness and our defense and rebounding.The hallmarks of Boyles program have long been defense and rebounding, which never take a night off. The Buffaloes (2-0) held Seattle to 30.2 percent shooting from the floor and out-rebounded the Redhawks by a 55-35 margin.Were in the process of becoming a good team, Boyle said. Were not a good team right now.White scored 15 points and Josh Fortune hit two big 3-pointers down the stretch to lift Colorado. Fortune finished with 12 points, all in the second half, while Wesley Gordon added 11 points and 14 rebounds.We had 19 turnovers ... and we still won, White said. It just goes to show that if we guard and we rebound we can win.Seattle (1-1) was led by Brendan Westendorf, who finished with 17 points.Trailing by a basket early in the second half, Colorado went on a 16-2 run to gain some separation. But the Redhawks pulled to within 54-51 on Westendorfs four-point play with around 6 minutes remaining.Soon after, Fortune entered the game and bailed out the Buffaloes, who finished 3 of 18 from 3-point land. They were also 26 of 41 from the free throw line.Its tough when you get that close and they pull away from you, Westendorf said.Seattle coach Cameron Dollar couldnt agree more.We had some looks but didnt capitalize on it, Dollar said. You have to be able to score a little bit more than we did tonight.BIG PICTURESeattle: As Colorado disscovered, the Redhawks arent limited to preseason All-Western Athletic Conference players Westendorf and William Powell, who was held to four points. Wholesale Chiefs Jerseys China. Scott Ulaneo had 11 rebounds, forward Emmanuel Chibuogwu scored nine points and 7-foot-3 center Aaron Menzies contributed eight.Colorado: Although the Buffaloes struggled with their long-range shooting, they should get a lift from freshman guard Bryce Peters. He served the second of a two-game suspension Monday for violating team rules.PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATIONMore than a dozen students stood in an aisle before tipoff and protested what they felt were inequities on campus. One of the leaders, Xavier Cochrane, said Donald Trumps victory during the U.S. presidential election played a role in the peaceful demonstration at Coors Events Center. The students held up one hand and chanted such things as Black Lives Matter and Latino Lives Matter.We want our voice to be heard, said Cochrane, the co-president of the Black Student Alliance at Colorado and a wide receiver on the football team.X-FACTORXavier Johnson scored 13 to become the 33rd player in school history to eclipse the 1,000-point plateau for a career. Johnson missed last season as he recovered from a torn Achilles.Its a blessing to be able to play the game again, coming off that Achilles tear, Johnson said. Im just happy to score the basketball.NO DOMBothered by a sore foot, junior guard Dominique Collier didnt play in the second half.If it doesnt get better, the Buffaloes may have to shut him down for a bit.We have to get it healthy and healed, Boyle said. We need him. We need Dom Collier to be effective for us this year.UP NEXTSeattle travels to Notre Dame on Wednesday as part of the Legends Classic.Colorado hosts Louisiana Monroe on Thursday in the second game of the Boulder Regional of the Legends Classic.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
