NHL: Philadelphia 7, Florida 1

SUNRISE, Fla., Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Matt Read notched his first career hat trick and rookie Tye McGinn tallied his first NHL goal Saturday in the Philadelphia Flyers' 7-1 waltz over Florida.

McGinn -- a fourth-round pick by the Flyers in the 2010 draft -- scored on a deflection of a Braydon Coburn shot to cap a three-goal, first-period outburst for Philadelphia. He added an assist, while Ruslan Fedotenko and Luke Schenn each added a score and an assist for the Flyers, who recorded a second straight win following three consecutive regulation losses.
