PHILADELPHIA -- Ivan Provorov admitted he was motivated to make his second career game against the Chicago Blackhawks a lot better than his first.The 19-year-old rookie defenseman did just that, scoring twice and prevented one by the Blackhawks to help the Philadelphia Flyers beat Chicago 3-1 on Saturday.Provorov was on the ice for five Blackhawks goals in their 7-4 at home over the Flyers on Oct. 18.I didnt play my best in that game, but I put it behind me, learned from it and it was a better result tonight, Provorov said I tried to use it as a positive thing and prove thats not me.Provorov scored 31 seconds apart early in the second period to help the Flyers get their fourth straight win. Brayden Schenn also scored and Steve Mason stopped 26 shots.Artemi Panarin scored his ninth of the season for the Blackhawks, who lost in regulation for the first time in five games, snapping a 3-0-1 streak. Scott Darling had 27 saves in his eighth appearance of the season.Darling was pressed into action after starter Corey Crawford underwent an emergency appendectomy.His procedure went pretty well today, hes probably going to be out two to three weeks, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. Thanks to our medical staff and the Flyers medical staff today. They did a great job of helping us out.Chicago was also without captain Jonathan Toews for the fourth straight game. Sidelined with a lower body injury, Toews remained in Chicago and is questionable for Sundays home game against his hometown Winnipeg Jets.The Blackhawks opened the scoring 3:44 in when Panarin took a pass from Artem Anisimov and one-timed a shot past Mason for his ninth of the season and his first in five games.Provorov took over from there. The Flyers top pick in the 2015 NHL draft (seventh overall) tied the score 3:02 into the second period when he blasted a shot past Darling for his second career NHL goal.Provorov gave the Flyers the lead 31 seconds later when he wristed a shot that fluttered past Darlings blocker for the first two-goal game of his career.He is a guy that continues to work at his game, and continues to build, Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said of Provorov. He didnt do a whole lot different tonight than he has really over the last 10 games. It was nice to see a couple of those pucks go in for him. They were good plays by him and the other guys on the ice, obviously that is really important for us at that time in the hockey game.Schenn gave the Flyers a 3-1 lead at the 8:37 of the second, taking a nice feed from rookie Travis Konecny and beating Darling from close range for his fourth.The Flyers biggest save of the night might have come from Provorov, who swatted a bouncing puck out of the goal crease with 3:22 remaining in the second period to preserve a two-goal lead.The Blackhawks thought they scored when Richard Panik jabbed a loose puck under Masons legs. But Provorov reached behind the goalie and swatted the puck off the goal line. After a video review, the officials ruled the replay inconclusive, denying Panik the goal.They obviously look at it real closely, Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said. Of course we wanted the goal but you just have to trust that they are doing everything they can and I do think they look at is as much as they can, so they know more than I do, but obviously we wanted to have that goal, but it happens.Game notes Flyers D Radko Gudas was a healthy scratch for the first time this season and was replaced with D Brandon Manning, who missed the previous two games with a concussion. ...

Game shows? Santa Claus? Cops? Rocky?! Only one kind of moment in college football can cast such a wide net of props or visitors ... and emotions. That, of course, is when walk-ons are given scholarships.Fortunately for those of us who arent in the team meeting rooms when scholarships get issued, social media has helped turn these awards into something of an annual event every August during camps across the country. Once again, this year did not disappoint.No one is better at creating elaborate scholarship reveals than P.J. Fleck and Western Michigan, which is basically the Alabama of walk-on surprises, but there were plenty of other chilling moments across the country.Today, we present to you the ultimate power rankings of walk-ons earning scholarships.10. Chris Finke, Notre Dame, 2016 Notre Dames WOPU Nation is no laughing matter. From Chris Salvi to Joe Schmidt, no shortage of contributors started their college careers as members of the Irishs Walk-On Players Union. This month, cornerback and WOPU general Jesse Bongiovi -- yes, the son of that Bongiovi -- had a few words about a soon-to-be-former compadre after practice. Coach Brian Kelly took it from there, announcing that Finke, a redshirt freshman receiver, would be put on scholarship. The player reactions, as always, are the best part.9. Gabe Ovgard, Oregon State, 2016 Ovgard, a scout-team receiver-turned-starting safety last season, was one of the Beavers feel-good stories. To honor Ovgards work, coach Gary Andersen gathered players before a winter workout and had them pick prizes out of a hat for their teammates. The final prize, of course, was a surprise full-ride for Ovgard. (Ovgard medically retired from football this month, saying he had suffered four concussions in the past year.)8. Clark Eyers, Ford Howell and Josh Taylor, NC State, 2016 Coach Dave Doeren has been a huge champion of walk-ons during his time with the Wolfpack, giving out 13 scholarships to walk-ons since his arrival in 2013. Doeren went the surprise route this time, putting on a comedy bit in a team meeting that compared NC State players and coaches to their celebrity lookalikes. You know how this one ends.7. Grant DePalma, Western Michigan, 2014 It says something about WMU that the use of Santa Claus to issue a scholarship isnt even one of the Broncos most creative ways of surprising walk-ons. Still, the presence of St. Nick in a team meeting before a bowl game was certainly a special moment for DePalma, who received the most-expensive Christmas gift of his life: a full ride.6. Danny Doyle, Duke, 2016 Credit coach David Cutcliffe for having a few tricks up his sleeve, as the 61-year-oold Duke coach shocked Doyle, a defensive end, by having Doyles parents call during a postspring meeting and deliver him the news.dddddddddddd Its nice to see parents be a part of moments like these, too, since theyre the ones who often foot the college bill for their kids.5. Josh Anderson, Notre Dame, 2015 Notre Dame checks in on this list twice, thanks to Brian Kellys creativity. The Irish were revealing their one-off Shamrock Series uniforms, and they granted Anderson the honor of modeling them for his teammates. As if that moment wasnt exciting enough for a group of college kids, Kelly then announced that Anderson, a running back, was a model student-athlete at Notre Dame, and that hed be going on scholarship because of it.4. Kyle Seger, Ball State, 2016 Who doesnt love game shows? First-year Ball State coach Mike Neu decided to put a local spin on the game, having player personnel director Tilmon Clark dress up as a host for The Cardinal Is Right. Clark calls players up individually to guess what is on the screen behind them, with the help from their position groups. When Seger finally gets called and his answer pops up, the entire team storms the stage. Hilarious and chilling, all at once.3. Trevor Sweeney, Western Michigan, 2015 An onside kick? With a note wrapped around the football? So much planning had to go into this WMU surprise, and even then, so much had to go exactly right: The kick, the recovery, the teammates keeping their straight faces for so long. In the end, we get Sweeney being lifted by fellow players as he reads a letter from coach P.J. Fleck. Amazing.2. Daniel Maynes and Rob OConnor, UMass 2012 Cops interrupted a team meeting and said they had documents with Maynes and OConnors names on them. The concerned looks on the players faces -- and on coach Charley Molnars, who was in on the act -- were priceless. Credit Molnar and UMass for being forward-thinking here, as this stunt came in 2012, way before awarding scholarships became a fashionable moment to film and post.1. Kasey Carson, Western Michigan, 2016 Its not enough that the 35-year-old Fleck comes out in full uniform here. Or that he challenges a player to the Oklahoma drill, with a potential night off as the winning prize. Or that the player, Carson, wins. Fleck then directs the team to the videoboard, where Rocky himself, Sylvester Stallone, appears with former WMU letterman Alec Gores to tell Carson he has a scholarship. There may be some boat-rowing -- and drinking -- involved at the end, too. Incredible. ' ' '
