PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- Matt Carle, Arron Asham and Simon Gagne scored third-period goals Saturday to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-1 win over the New York Islanders.

The Flyers have beaten the Islanders 10 straight times and have won 10 of their last 13 home games.

Claude Giroux and Scott Hartnell scored 44 seconds apart in the first period for Philadelphia. Backup goalie Martin Biron -- playing in place of Antero Niittymaki, who was out with the flu -- was credited with 38 saves on 39 shots for the Flyers, who have won three of their last four games.

Andy Hilbert's 10th goal this season at 6:15 of the third was New York's lone marker.

Yann Danis surrendered the five goals on 34 shots in the Islanders' fifth loss in a row following a four-game winning streak.
