NASHVILLE -- Wayne Simmonds scored two goals to help the Philadelphia Flyers to a 4-2 win against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Sunday.
It was the fifth straight win for the Flyers (14-10-3).
Rookie goalie Juuse Saros made 24 saves for the Predators (11-9-4), who have lost three of their past four games.
Simmonds gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead at 18:12 of the first period on a redirection on the power play. Jakub Voracek took the original shot and Simmonds redirected it past Saros for his 12th goal.
"They had great movement around the top of the box," Simmonds said. "[Voracek] told me to go back door if he was going to get it for a one-timer so I stuck my stick out back door and he hit it. It went in the net."
