PHILADELPHIA -- Mika Pyorala scored in the shootout to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday.

Scott Hartnell scored in regulation for Philadelphia, which moved to 83-39-17 overall against the Blues, including 47-12-10 at home.

Hartnell gave the Flyers the lead with 7:45 remaining in the second period. Streaking down the left side, he deflected Giroux's cross-ice pass past Chris Mason.
Hartnell's momentum carried him into the net, and officials reviewed the goal to determine whether he kicked the puck as he slid.
