The Flyers' victory came as Knuble made his NHL debut on Monday night, a moment that carried extra meaning for the son of former NHL forward Mike Knuble. The Los Angeles Kings finally snapped their losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Capitals, though the Kings lost forward Byfield to an upper-body injury.

Penguins forward Ben Kindel was evaluated at a Salt Lake City hospital after a medical emergency on a flight. Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin's trade search has expanded to 10 teams, according to a source, after his trade request became public last June.
