PHILADELPHIA—Kevin Hayes had his first career hat trick, Rasmus Ristolainen and Morgan Frost also scored and the Philadelphia Flyers rebounded from their worst loss of the season with a 5–2 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night, Jan. 17.

The Flyers lost 6–0 at Boston in an afternoon game a day earlier that proved nothing more than a speed bump in their recent modest run of success. They still only have 19 wins but they have won four of five. They are 8–2 since an overtime win Dec. 29 at San Jose and play hard under coach John Tortorella.
