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. He was replaced in the lineup by Nick Schultz. The team also noted C Boyd Gordon was placed on the injured reserve. Left winger Michael Raffl was activated in the corresponding roster move, and skated on a line with Giroux and RW Wayne Simmonds. ... RW Dale Weise was scratched. ...

Thats compared to Ronaldos two so far. Messi has 90 Champions League goals -- after scoring the opener in Barcelonas 3-1 defeat against Manchester City on Tuesday -- and 93 in all UEFA competitions.Legia looks like easy pickings for Ronaldo. The Polish team has lost all three group matches and conceded a tournament-high 13 goals.And its players will face Madrid all alone at Wojska Polskiego Stadium, whose doors will be closed to the public by UEFA as a penalty for fans racist behavior and the fireworks thrown during a previous loss to Borussia Dortmund.Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane said Legia has played well despite the poor results.We respect Legia. This is a good team, that can get you into trouble, Zidane said. They were not very lucky with results, but, as I said, they can be dangerous for opponents.Madrid, which beat Legia 5-1 in their first meeting without any goals from Ronaldo, are undefeated in 26 matches across all competitions dating back to last seasons quarterfinals. They have won their last five matches overall by the combined score of 24-5.Gareth Bale will also be eager to shine after signing a new contract with Madrid through 2022.The only worry for Madrid is the absence of injured center backs Pepe and Sergio Ramos.Madrid will qualify for the last 16 if it wins and Dortmund beats Sporting Lisbon in the other Group F match.Here are some others things to know about Wednesdays matches:---GROUP EGroup E is proving tto be this seasons most competitive quartet.ddddddddddddOnly three points separate leader Monaco from last-placed CSKA Moscow before they meet in the Mediterranean principality.

Spurs havent won in five matches across all competitions without injured striker Harry Kane.---GROUP FDortmund, like Madrid, can advance with a win over Sporting Lisbon.Mario Goetze, who returned to Dortmund this season from Bayern Munich, has shown some flashes of his rich talent. But more will be needed for Dortmund make another run to the final like in 2013, which Goetze missed because of injury.To do it would be my biggest dream come true, Goetze said. Yet that was a long time ago. Im focusing on the future and on this Champions League season. Its not going to be easy next time against Sporting.---GROUP GIts Premier League title defense may be in serious trouble, but Leicester City is outperforming the other English sides in its first foray in the Champions League.Three wins in as many matches mean Leicester can seal a place in the knockout rounds with another win over FC Copenhagen.In the other group match, FC Porto welcomes Brugge hoping to break a run of four home matches without a victory in Europe.---GROUP HJuventus and Sevilla are level at the top of Group H and can go through with victories in their respective home matches against Lyon and Dinamo Zagreb.Juventus faces Lyon fresh off an encouraging 2-1 win over domestic rival Napoli, which allowed it to build a four-point lead in Serie A.I can be satisfied with our start, but Im also sure we have a lot of room to improve, Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain said. Were expecting a difficult game. Lyon had better results in their recent games and they gave us a real test two weeks ago.Sevilla will be without midfielder Samir Nasri, who has been playing well for the Andalusian side on loan from Manchester City.Nasri scored Sevillas winner in a 1-0 victory in Zagreb. He then picked up a left leg muscle injury over the weekend. ' ' '
