PHILADELPHIA -- After leaning on Steve Mason throughout most of the last three weeks, the Philadelphia Fyers bailed out their goaltender with a strong offensive display.Michael Raffl scored with 1:29 remaining to cap Philadelphias rally from two goals down in the third period to beat the Edmonton Oilers 6-5 Thursday night for the Flyers seventh straight win.Claude Giroux had two goals and one assist, and Mark Streit, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Jakub Voracek also scored for the Flyers.Its a sign of good things, hopefully, said Mason, who stopped 28 shots to win his sixth straight and improve to 11-8-3. When your goalies not making saves that you need, but the guys are still battling in front, from a personal standpoint, its huge to see that.Raffls sixth of the season came after he brushed off a check by Klefbom and lifted a shot over Gustavasson. The Flyers trailed 5-3 before scoring three times in a 12-minute stretch.Once we got to 5-4, I just tried to lock it down as best I could, Mason said. Theres nights where youre just not feeling as sharp as youd like to. But this is a situation where the guys in front never quit. They earned the two points tonight for sure.Leon Draisaitl had a goal and two assists, Connor McDavid had a goal and an assist, and Andrej Sekera, Benoit Pouliot and Oscar Klefbom also scored for the Oilers, who have blown leads in four straight games. Jonas Gustavsson finished with 25 saves.Im not too sure what it is. Its definitely something we need to find out real fast here, McDavid said of the Oilers late-game collapses. I think as a group were still trying to learn how to win games. We did a good job of it early, and theres definitely a certain talent to being able to win games and close it out. I think maybe were still trying to figure that part out right now.With the score tied 3-3 after two periods, Pouliot and Klefbom scored 2:05 apart to give the Oilers a two-goal lead 5:12 into the third.Voraceks snap shot on a power play pulled the Flyers to 5-4 at 6;31 and Giroux tied it with 7:49 remaining.We know weve got some areas to get better at, and were going to keep working and keep trying to get better as a team, said Giroux, who now has 28 points, 10 behind McDavids league-leading 38. Weve just got to keep working here. Right now the teams just rolling and were winning.McDavid was back in Philadelphia for the first time since breaking a collar bone here last season after a collision with Flyers defenseman Brandon Manning, an injury that forced him to miss the next 37 games in his rookie campaign. The two had a minor scuffle in the first period.I did all I could defending him last year in the media, McDavid said of Manning. Everyone wanted to make a big deal saying he did it on purpose, and he wanted to say some comments today about what went on last year. I thought it was one of the (most) classless things Ive ever seen on the ice. He said some things, and our guys responded accordingly.I guess we can put the whole `if he did it on purpose thing to rest because what he said out there kind of confirmed that.Manning said his hit on McDavid last season was not an intent to hurt the budding superstar.I would never intentionally hurt someone, Manning said. Anybody who knows me, I play a hard game. Thats the reason Im here, thats the way Im in the NHL.The Oilers, who came into the game fourth in the NHL in goals, opened the scoring when Draisaitl beat Mason from the left circle at the 4:39 mark of the first.

WATERLOO, Ont. -- Top-ranked Inbee Park took a well-earned break last week after winning her third major of the season. She was refreshed for her first round at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic on Thursday and quickly picked up where she left off. Park opened with an impressive 6-under-par 65 under mostly sunny skies at Grey Silo Golf Course. The South Korean was two shots behind American Angela Stanford and Catriona Matthew of Scotland. Park is looking to become the first golfer to win four straight LPGA Tour events since Lorena Ochoa in 2008. "Golf is a sport where you could miss the cut this week and you could win next week," Park said. "Theres a lot of imbalance in this game and to keep this kind of level going for four weeks, five weeks, six in a row is a very tough thing to do. We really have to be strong mentally, you have to be physically strong. "Everythings got to work perfect to win that many tournaments in a row I think. You could win six, seven tournaments a year, but I think its really tough to do in a streak, like in a row." It took a tremendous round from Matthew to leapfrog Park on the leaderboard. The veteran Scot carded a career-best 18-hole score of 63 to top her previous best of 64, which she carded on four separate occasions. Matthew had five birdies en route to a blistering 31 on the front nine and had just a single bogey on No. 12. She didnt miss a fairway and hit all but three greens in regulation. "I hit it close all day which gives you a lot of chances and then obviously I putted well," she said. "I gave myself a lot of chances but took advantage of them." Stanford joined her in top spot when she closed her round in the early evening with three straight birdies. "Today I hit it really good," she said. "So it was just one of those days that as a golfer you just love." Park was joined by American Irene Cho, Spains Belen Mozo and South Koreas Hee Young Park and Meena Lee at 65. American Ryann OToole and South Koreans Chella Choi, Jenny Shin, Amy Yang and Ji Young Oh were three shots off the lead at 66. Hamiltons Alena Sharp -- one of 10 Canadians in the field -- shot a 68. Defending champion Brittany Laang of the U.ddddddddddddS. and Charlottetowns Lorie Kane opened with scores of 69. Players took advantage of soft conditions early in the day on the 6,330-yard course. Aggressive approach shots were rewarded before the greens started to dry up in the afternoon. "We were pretty much able to attack the pins this morning," Park said. "The next three days might be a little bit different if we dont get any more rain, might play a little harder." Warm temperatures and sunny skies are in the forecast through the final round of the US$1.3-million tournament on Sunday. The 24-year-old Park oozed confidence as she strolled down the fairways. She seemed very business-like and appeared to be in complete control of her game. Dressed in a white shirt and teal pants, Park raises the club with an oh-so-slow backswing before launching the ball with remarkable consistency. When she found her first bunker of the day in front of the 18th green, she casually blasted out to within a few feet of the hole and made the birdie putt. "I think it was an excellent round," she said. "I had a really good start this morning, five under through (eight) holes. I missed a couple opportunities on the back nine, but Im pleased with the way I played today. "I hit the ball great, I putted great." It was Parks best first-round score since she opened with a 7-under-par 65 at last years Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship. She went on to finish second at that event. Nancy Lopez holds the tour record with five consecutive victories in 1978, a mark equalled by Annika Sorenstam over the 2004-05 seasons. Park, who enters the tournament as the tour leader in seven statistical categories, has already won six times this season. Shes dominating the tour the way players like Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa did over the last decade. "At the time when I was watching them, I thought they were so good, that I would never be in that kind of position, never be able to win like four, five tournaments in a row," Park said. "I thought that was toughest thing to do and Im getting really close to that. "Im not as good as them yet, but Im still learning now and just starting." ' ' '
