Schenn after penalty-filled win over Canucks: 'That was ugly, wasn't it?'

It likely isn't how they envisioned it, but a win is a win.

The slumping Philadelphia Flyers - owners of a 2-5-3 record over their last 10 games - escaped a sloppy effort Thursday night with a 5-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, and forward Brayden Schenn didn't mince words about his club's performance.

"That was ugly, wasn't it?" Schenn told Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post. "Probably not the way we wanted to draw it up, but at the end of the day we got the two points."

Philadelphia surrendered eight power plays, including back-to-back high-sticking double minors in the game's opening eight minutes.

"I don't know if I've ever seen anything quite like that," head coach Dave Hakstol said.

Up next for the Flyers in their search for consistency is a Saturday matinee in Boston against the Bruins.
