Philadelphia 3, Pittsburgh 2 (OT)

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- Keith Primeau scored with 17.5 seconds left in the third period and Marty Murray got the game-winner 1:47 into overtime as the Philadelphia Flyers cooled off the Pittsburgh Penguins Tuesday night with a 3-2 victory.

Playing without All-Star center Mario Lemieux, Pittsburgh was moments away from a seventh straight win. But Alexei Kovalev inexplicably could not clear the puck out of his zone, losing it at the blue line to Jeremy Roenick.

John LeClair ended up with possession at the left side of the net and threw it in front to Primeau, who had been knocked down by defenseman Ian Moran but drove the puck past goaltender Jean-Sebastien Aubin for his 11th goal.

Early in the extra period, Pittsburgh's Billy Tibbetts tried to move the puck from the side of his own net. But his clearing attempt caromed off Murray's stick and right past Aubin.

It was the ninth goal of the season and second game-winner for Murray, who signed a three-year contract extension Saturday.

Toby Petersen and Kovalev scored for the Penguins, who were coming off consecutive overtime victories but fell to 16-75-7-1 all time in Philadelphia.
