NEW YORK -- If the New York Islanders are going to bounce back from their worst loss in the last two seasons, theyll have to do so against a Philadelphia Flyers squad bursting with positive momentum after one of its most dramatic wins of the year.The Islanders continue a five-game homestand Thursday night, when they host the Flyers in a clash of Metropolitan Division rivals at Barclays Center. New York is coming off a 6-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday, while Philadelphia heads into Brooklyn following a dramatic 4-3 overtime win over the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night.The Flyers tied the game on a goal by Mark Streit with 1:04 left in the third period before Jakob Voracek scored the winner just 1:41 into overtime. It was the fourth comeback win of the season for Philadelphia (5-5-1) and the second time it has scored the equalizer in the third period.I think thats a trait within the locker room, Flyers head coach Dave Hakstol said. Weve been able to do it a couple times and come out of a game with points, but thats not a position you want to be in.It beats the position the Islanders were in Tuesday, when the Lightning scored six unanswered goals in the first 32 minutes as fans at Barclays Center chanted for the firing of New York head coach Jack Capuano.Its not the first time its happened, right? said Capuano who is the fifth-longest tenured head coach in the NHL.The six goals were the most the Islanders (4-6-0) have given up in a home game since moving to Barclays Center last season, while the five-goal deficit matched their most lopsided defeat in that span.I think you always try to learn from it, Islanders center and captain John Tavares said. But its a long season and a lot of games still coming up, so weve just got to put it behind us and get better (at practice Wednesday) and obviously be ready to play Thursday.Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak worked by himself during Wednesdays practice, an indication he will draw the start Thursday. Steve Mason will likely start for the Flyers after Michel Neuvirth earned the win in the opening game of the back-to-back set Wednesday.Halak, who backed up Thomas Greiss the previous two games before relieving Greiss in the first period Tuesday, is 9-4-0 in 13 career appearances against the Flyers. He took the loss the last time he opposed Philadelphia on Jan. 9, when Halak allowed all four goals in the Islanders 4-0 defeat at Wells Fargo Center.Mason is 7-2-3 in 14 career appearances against the Islanders. He earned the win the last time he opposed New York on March 21, when Mason stopped all but one of the 24 shots he faced in the Flyers 4-1 win at Barclays Center. Wholesale MLB Jerseys . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. MLB Jerseys China .

LOUIS -- St. MONZA, Italy - Nico Rosberg has played down Lewis Hamiltons new pool of fresh engines, saying everything is going to plan with his own usage of power units.Hamiltons huge grid penalty in Spa came after Mercedes made multiple engine changes, capitalising on a loophole in the regulations which effectively allowed it to stockpile fresh ones for the remainder of the season. That means he will not face a penalty for using any one of the three engines Mercedes gave him during the Spa weekend as he has already served the penalty on each.?Some have suggested Hamiltons engine situation has given him the edge in the title fight, with Rosberg now consigned to his current engine and one fresh power unit for the remaining eight races. However, the German seemed relaxed about the situation when asked about it on Thursday.When told Hamilton seemed happy to have extra engines, Rosberg replied: I am happy as well, everything is going to plan. I have had one race on my current engine as it wwas new in Spa.ddddddddddddRosberg capitalised on Hamiltons penalties in Belgium, turning in a faultless weekend to end his teammates run of four consecutive wins before the summer break. That cut the gap to Hamilton to ten points but Rosberg refused to be drawn on commenting on his state of mind.I was very happy to win the race and the way the race went for me it was a great weekend, he said.?Speaking about his expectations for the Italian Grand Prix this weekend, he said: It will be easier on the tyres, we are expecting two stop or one stop so it should be easier but it is the same tyres as Spa with the super-soft and it was really close in qualifying so we are expecting it a similar situation again with the track being shorter here it will be really close. It is saturated with the super-softs due to the temperatures so all the teams close up. ' ' '
