PHILADELPHIA -- A rare morning start didnt bother the Flyers, who jumped out over a sluggish Jets team that couldnt get going until it was too late. The Jets didnt just lose the game. Evander Kane left the game in the second period and did not return. He sustained a lower body injury in the first period during a collision with Braydon Coburn. Scott Hartnell opened the scoring 48 seconds in and Steve Mason stopped all but one shot as Philadelphia skated to a 2-1 victory over Winnipeg on Friday. As soon as he got the ice for his first shift, Hartnell found an unattended puck in front of the Jets net and immediately slapped it past Ondrej Pavelec to put the Flyers up, 1-0. "I just shot it as hard as I could," Hartnell said. "Ill take it. Its nice on your first shift, right in the slot theres a little present waiting for you there." Mason turned away 25 shots in the matinee that began at 11:30 a.m., including an impressive pad save on Matt Halischuk on a 2-on-1 chance in the second period. He improved to 3-0-1 in his career against the Jets (12-12-4). The Flyers (11-12-2) won their fifth straight game at home after dropping their previous two on the road at Florida and Tampa Bay. "Its huge," Mason said. "Our Florida effort was terrible. Both games were lacklustre, so to come home and get a big win before we go on the road for (12) days is a step in the right direction." Both Flyers goals came off Winnipeg turnovers. Hartnells score was the Flyers lone goal in a dominating opening period in which they outshot the Jets 13-2. "Morning game, obviously the first period was one where we werent engaged in the game," Winnipeg coach Claude Noel said. "You dont know what to expect. ... Obviously it wasnt a great situation." Sean Couturier had a short-handed breakaway opportunity in the first period that Pavelec stopped with a right pad save. But in the second he once again forced a Jets turnover on the penalty kill, this time beating Pavelec on a breakaway for his second goal of the year. Couturier also played a big role on the Flyers penalty kill that held the Jets without a goal in six power-play opportunities. "I was really impressed with (Couturiers) effort," Mason said. "He stepped up his game." Michael Frolik finally put the Jets on the scoreboard with 7:07 left in the third when he slipped one by Mason in front of a crowded net. Peppered with 34 shots, Pavelec made 32 saves but fell to 7-4-1 lifetime against the Flyers. The Flyers, who entered with a power-play goal in eight consecutive games, also failed to score on four tries. They opened the second period with 1:25 of 5-on-3 time but couldnt manage a shot while up two men. Philadelphia has yet to score a 5-on-3 goal this season. "The 5-on-3 wasnt good," coach Craig Berube said. "Got to execute better and come up together. You cant be dumping (the puck) in on a 5-on-3. You got to do a better job. They know that." The loss snapped Winnipegs five-game winning streak against Eastern Conference teams and was just its second defeat in Philadelphia in eight games. "We just werent very good," Noel said. "Was that an early morning game? I dont know. That would be a poor excuse, because theyre ready to play." The win was an important one for the Flyers, who are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games, but begin a six-game road trip Saturday night in Nashville. "Flying up to Canada, down south in Texas, were gonna have to get our rest and do the right things," Hartnell said. "Weve played solid on the road except for our last two games, and weve got to continue that and make this the best road trip of the year."

How much sleep do you get before a marathon broadcast like this? Sleep? What is this thing you speak of? [eyes slightly bugged out and twitching] In all honesty, Im a disciple of the James Duthie school of sleeping, which is to say... keep working until the red light goes off. I catch up on sleep when I can; naps are great... and I find my second year university macroeconomics textbook still works as a pretty effective tranquilizer. Whats the longest youve ever been on the air in one stretch? That would definitely be during my breaking news days on CP24 in Toronto. There was a massive rainstorm in Toronto on July 8, 2013. I still remember the date for some reason. I hit the anchor desk at noon that day. The storm started rather unexpectedly around 7 p.m. and wreaked havoc all night. I was on the air from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. without a break, plus I had anchored three hours the previous afternoon. It felt like the storm lasted about two weeks. What do you eat before a broadcast like this? Do you carb up? If Im paired with an attractive female co-host, I generally try to avoid Taco Bell. For regular days, nothing that makes me too sleepy. Dan OToole turned me on to energy drinks before going on air, which can really make the broadcast go either way. For marathon days like March Madness, Ill attempt to carb up on day one for longevity and see how that goes. If it fails, Im resorting to the OToole method – apologies in advance. Do you have any special items you like to wear on air? Any lucky socks perhaps? Im a big fan of brightly coloured socks, but there isnt a single go-to pair. Ive been using the same man bag since I started my first on-air job in September 2007. With that, Im pretty superstitious. Ive been fortunate with the opportunities Ive been afforded, so I dont want to switch up the bag, even if it is getting a bit ratty. Ever worn jjeans and sneakers behind the desk? Not at TSN – yet.dddddddddddd Im still kinda new, Im not at the "Cory Woron" level of comfort just yet. I have actually worn shorts and flip flops behind the news desk at my last job. I used to walk to work in the summer, and if I didnt wear shorts, Id be a sweaty mess by the time Id get there. It was three parts survival, one part comfort. Whats the single most significant piece of info youve picked up from your March Madness research? That spending hours crunching the numbers doesnt really put your bracket too far ahead of the one that your neighbours dog "filled out." Which team is primed for a Cinderella run? Id like to see Stephen F. Austin make a run. Theyre a nice story. Their coach Brad Underwood paid his dues for 27 years looking for a Division 1 head coaching opportunity. It finally came this year, and hes got his team in the show. Theyre a loose bunch. No go-to scorer. They distribute the ball well, and have five players who can score in the low double digits. That, to me, seems like a team primed for an upset. Theyre #12 and taking on #5 VCU. 12 over 5 is the classic upset. I also wouldnt be surprised to see play-in winner NC State take down Saint Louis in the round of 64. And Im quietly cheering for New Mexico State; theyve got four Canadians on the roster, the most in the tourney. Who do you have in the Final Four? They seem to be changing by the hour. Right now? Louisville, Florida, Arizona, Michigan State. And a championship pick? Florida. Love that there are four seniors in the starting lineup – theyve dealt with this pressure before. Love that theyve built a program and arent a one-and-done school. Love that they dont have a superstar for other teams to key on and that they play a crawl-up-your-shirt defense. And it never hurts having the experience of Billy Donovan at the helm. ' ' '
