PHILADELPHIA — Jakub Voracek scored with 8.6 seconds left in overtime after Wayne Simmonds had two goals in regulation, leading the Philadelphia Flyers to their sixth straight victory, 3-2 over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night.

Steve Mason made 42 saves to help the Flyers to their longest winning streak in five years. Mason, who earned the NHL’s First Star of the Week on Monday, won his fifth straight start.

Aleksander Barkov and Jussi Jokinen scored for Florida, which completed a six-game trip with a 1-5-0 record.

Mason turned aside Florida’s best chance in overtime when he denied Aaron Ekblad’s slap shot from close range.

ISLANDERS 4, RANGERS 2: Andrew Ladd scored in the second period and Jaroslav Halak stopped 36 shots to lead the Islanders at home.

John Tavares, Jason Chimera and Scott Mayfield also scored to help the last-place Islanders improve to 4-0-1 in their last five games.

Jimmy Vesey and Marc Staal scored for the Metropolitan Division-leading Rangers, who have alternated wins and losses in regulation in their last eight games.

DEVILS 3, CANUCKS 2: Taylor Hall scored a goal, set up a go-ahead tally by Kyle Palmieri and delivered a crushing check that knocked Vancouver defenseman Philip Larsen out of the game to lift New Jersey at home.

Larsen was taken off the ice on a stretcher after being checked in the face by Hall. The Canucks said Larsen was awake and responsive when he left the ice. He was taken to a hospital for further evaluation.

No penalty was called. It appeared Hall got Larsen with his shoulder and possibly elbow.
