WINNIPEG -- Coach Claude Noel was happy to talk about the Winnipeg Jets power play Friday night, after a 3-2 shootout win over the Philadelphia Flyers, thanks to two power-play goals. "The power play was obviously a big plus for us," he said after Bryan Little scored the winner in the fifth round of the shootout as the Jets (10-9-2) won their fourth in a row. "(It was) a long time waiting for us for that to happen. I dont think there was anything really different that took place other than we hit the net." The Jets started the game with the worst power-play in the league, just six goals in 71 tries (only one in their last 13 games) and moved up a notch to 29th after Dustin Byfuglien connected twice when the Flyers were shorthanded. It was fitting that he was the agent of change, since it was Byfuglien who counselled doubters to have patience this week. He said success would come if the team could keep rubber moving to the net. And he insisted they did nothing new Friday night. "It was just a matter of getting there," Byfuglien said after the game. "We were in traffic and we just kept shooting and it got there." Byfuglien scored his first at 5:36 of the into the first period as he snapped the puck past a kneeling Steve Mason. The second at 14:23 of the third period was more important, after the Flyers (7-11-1) had taken a 2-1 lead by the end of the first on goals from Scott Hartnell and Wayne Simmonds. It was Byfugliens trademark slapshot from the blueline that swept by Mason and sent the game into overtime. Even the normally stoic defenceman had to do a little dance to celebrate. Mason said he didnt even see the puck. "Its just disappointing because we had the lead with six minutes left in the hockey game and we werent able to close it out," he said. But he said they made progress on their road trip. "Anytime you can get five out of six points thats pretty good. Would have been great to get the full six points but moving forward we put ourselves back in a better position." The Flyers bounced back after Byfugliens first goal. Hartnells wraparound at the 6:25 mark was ruled a goal after a review. Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec appeared to move it past the line with his glove. The Flyers took the lead a little over five minutes later on Simmonds wrist shot from a goalmouth scramble just 13 seconds into Philadelphias first power play of the game. Like Byfuglien, Noel has said he has faith the teams power play will improve. "Weve had chances like that before where it either gets saved or hits a post or misses the net, or a lot of different factors like that," he said of the first goal. "For me it was just a matter of time before these things start seeing the back of the net. Eventually theyre going to go, you just have to stay with it and not allow too much frustration to get into your game." He also gave Pavelec credit for keeping them in the game. "He really gives us a chance." One streak did end for the Jets Friday night. Captain Andrew Ladd finally failed to score in a shootout. Ladd has scored game winners in three and hadnt missed until Friday. "The one (streak) that counts kept going," he said, adding that he hopes the power-play goals will give the team more confidence in the future.

About seven hours before facing Washington in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference second round series, team officials said the oft-injured Bynum would miss the rest of the playoffs and would not even be with the team for the rest of the post-season.LANDOVER, Md. - After all the negative things Jay Gruden has said about Robert Griffin III, the Washington Redskins coach found some positives to discuss after the quarterback earned his first complete-game win in more than a year.So maybe theyll figure out a way to coexist next season, after all.Back as the starter because of an injury to Colt McCoy, Griffin threw for 220 yards and led the drive that resulted in Kai Forbaths 26-yard go-ahead field goal with 5 seconds left Saturday night. The Redskins beat the Eagles 27-24, pushing Philadelphia to the brink of elimination from playoff contention.You have to be impressed with his performance, Gruden said. I just thought he managed the game extremely well, getting out of the huddle and no delay-of-game penalties. He competed, man, and thats what you want to see a quarterback do — be a competer, be a leader. I told him before the game, I dont care if you go 14 for 100, 10 for 10, or 1 for 1, man, just as long as we get the W.Wins have been few and far between in Grudens first season as an NFL head coach: This victory ended a six-game losing streak for Washington (4-11). Griffin, the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the year, hadnt been in from start to finish of a win since beating San Diego in overtime on Nov. 3, 2013.It really isnt about me. This ones about this team. Weve been through the wringer a little bit this year. Weve been through a lot of adversity, a lot of mess, Griffin said. Guys have responded.He was benched a few weeks ago, but regained the job by default because McCoy went on injured reserve this week with a neck injury.Everybodys helped me get through this time, Griffin said.Griffin still looked a bit awkward and unsure at times, and threw an interception in the fourth quarter, but there were flashes of improvement as a drop-back passer. He connected with former Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson for two big gains — 51 yards in the second quarter, and 55 in the third.ddddddddddddobert did a great job, getting the ball out of his hands and making good decisions, said Gruden, who earlier this season was publicly critical of Griffins flaws as a QB.The Redskins certainly got plenty of help from the Eagles (9-6), who now have lost three games in a row and will be out of the hunt for a post-season berth if NFC East leader Dallas beats Indianapolis on Sunday.There were a couple of missed field-goal attempts in the third quarter — from 34 and 46 yards, both wide right — by Cody Parkey, who had botched two tries all season, going 29 of 31 until Saturday.There were three roughing-the-passer penalties by the Eagles, including two in a span of four plays during a drive that ended with one of Redskins fullback Darrell Youngs two 1-yard TD runs in the third quarter.And there were Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchezs turnovers. He fumbled on the games opening possession — setting up a field goal by Forbath — and then threw an interception to Bashaud Breeland with 1 1/2 minutes left that led to Washingtons six-play, 50-yard last drive.On the first play, Griffin completed a 23-yard pass to Pierre Garcon, before five runs by Alfred Morris.You cherish those moments, those moments when you can go out there and lead your team to victory on that final, last drive, Griffin said. And everybody was locked in.Notes: Morris went over 1,000 yards for the season, making him the only the teams second player — along with Stephen Davis — to gain at least that many three years in a row. ... Injured Redskins included LT Trent Williams (re-aggravated right shoulder) and LB Trent Murphy (broken bone in right hand).___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
