NEW YORK -- Philadelphia coach Dave Hakstol was happy that his team put together a strong effort for a full game against the Islanders.The Flyers came away with a 3-2 shootout victory Thursday night when Claude Giroux scored the lone goal of the tiebreaker.I liked our entire 65 minutes, Hakstol said.Travis Konecny and Matt Read also scored for the Flyers, who improved to 6-5-1 with their third straight victory.Played a full game, Konecny said. A full 60 minutes. I was really happy and all the guys were really happy with that one.Dennis Seidenberg and John Taveres had goals for the Islanders and Jaroslav Halak stopped 40 of 42 shots.Despite both teams struggling to stop their opponents, neither scored in the first period. Philadelphia outshot New York 14-8 in the period and 42-27 for the game.They were better in the first period, Halak said. Dont know the reason why. We just have to come out the way they did. Like I said, I think in the second and the third we were better. But 60 minute effort right now is missing. Sometimes you can get away with 40, 45 minute effort. Right now we need 60.Michal Neuvirth made 25 saves for the Flyers.Konecny got the Flyers on the board in the second period. He corralled a stretch pass from Radko Gudas and fired a shot that Halak stopped, but the goalie wasnt able to control the rebound and Philadelphias rookie center put in his second goal of the season.It also marked only the fourth time this season that Philadelphia scored the first goal and was also the Flyers league-leading 21st second period goal.We didnt give up a whole lot, thats the difference, Sean Couturier said. Usually were giving scoring chances were given up too many goals. Tonight was one of those games where we tightened things up. We scored less goals but we found way to win.The lead lasted for all of 8:20, as Tavares tapped in a power-play goal with 29 seconds left in the period. The goal was Tavares fifth overall and his second on the power play.The Islanders went ahead 2-1 on Seidenbergs goal with 7:05 left. It was his fourth of the season. Read tied it with less than a minute left when he put in his sixth goal of the season.Reads goal was on the power play which occurred after Casey Cizikas high-sticked Giroux.They had six guys, we had four, so were in the penalty box. Its four power play goals the last two games. And its truly cost us, Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. Casey was just trying to play hockey and his stick came up a little bit.New York dropped to 4-6-1 with its fourth loss in five games.The level of concern for me is a power play goal with (Cizikas, Cal Clutterbuck and Tavares on the ice) and (an even strength goal from) Seidenberg, Capuano said. Thats my concern. Where are we going to get point production? One hundred and thirty four points out of our lineup that we lost (in the off-season defections of Matt Martin, Kyle Okposo and Frans Nielsen). Now we have to find a way. Like everything gets magnified, I get it. You guys are talking about the (losses) lately, its a power play goal, but we have to find a way to get some balanced offense in our hockey team.Thats my concern.Game notesPrior to the game, the Flyers announced D Andrew MacDonald would miss a week with a lower body injury.

Their three-game skid and losses in seven of eight games have dropped them a game behind San Francisco for the best record in the major leagues.It happens to everybody, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of his teams woes. For anybody out there who believes it doesnt happen to every team, youre wrong.Tensions boiled after Markakis fourth homer in the ninth. After Rondon struck out Adonis Garcia, Rondon threw an inside fastball to Jeff Francoeur. He and Contreras started jawing, and the benches and bullpens emptied. There was only some pushing and no ejections.I called a fastball in and he didnt appreciate that, Contreras said. After that he started talking to me and I stood in front of him.Before that, Cubs slugger Kris Bryant was twice hit by Lucas Harrell, one on a curveball, and Hunter Cervenka plunked Anthony Rizzo. Bryant didnt return to the field with stiffness in his left leg after his second hit by pitch.Markakis put Atlanta ahead with a two-run homer in the first off Jason Hammell.dddddddddddd The right-hander settled down to retire 11 straight before he was lifted with cramping in his thumb on the humid night after a four-pitch walk to Gordon Beckham.Its annoying, said Hammel, who said he had the issue one other time in his career. For a thumb to pull me out of a game, it ticks me off.After Lucas Harrell threw 7 2/3 innings of four-hit ball in his second straight impressive start, the Braves bullpen gave up the lead.Cervenka allowed an RBI single to Zobrist. Then Jim Johnson entered and the rookie Contreras hit a sinking liner to center that got by Ender Inciarte and scored two runs.But the Cubs couldnt bust out of a slump in the makeup of an April 30 rainout that was delayed 1 hour, 35 minutes by rain and included a scary pregame incident.A man was carted off Wrigley Field and hospitalized after he slipped and fell to the warning track while attempting to jump from the bleachers before the game. The Cubs didnt identify the man and didnt provide his condition.TRAINERS ROOMBraves: RHP Julio Teheran, Atlantas lone All-Star, returned to the team after being treated for an infection due to ingrown hair on his right thigh.
