Richards' goal lifts Flyers over Devils (AP)

New Jersey Devils defenseman Anssi Salmela(notes) (29) of Finland lays in front of goalie Philadelphia Flyers goalie Michael Leighton(notes) (49) after scoring a goal in the second period of an NHL hockey game Monday, Feb. 8, 2010, in Philadelphia. Anssi was injured on the play.

Mike Richards scored the go-ahead goal with less than eight minutes left in the third period, leading the Philadelphia Flyers to a 3-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Monday night. Richards pushed Kimmo Timonen's pass from behind the goal past Martin Brodeur, and Flyers goalie Michael Leighton made that stand up.
