ST. LOUIS (AP) — Trevor Zegras had two goals and an assist in regulation, then got the only score in the shootout to give the Philadelphia Flyers a 6-5 win against the St. Louis Blues on Friday night.

Christian Dvorak also had two goals and an assist, and Owen Tippett had a goal and three assists for the Flyers. Samuel Ersson finished with 12 saves as Philadelphia extended its point streak to 3-0-2 and improved to 6-2-2 in its last 10 games.

Robert Thomas, Jimmy Snuggerud and Jordan Kyrou each had a goal and an assist, and Justin Faulk and Jimmy Holloway also scored for the Blues, who have a four-game point streak (2-0-2). Cam Fowler had two assists and Jordan Binnington stopped 25 shots.

After Thomas failed to score on the Blues' first attempt ofhe tiebreaker, Zegras scored on the Flyers' first try. Ersson then denied attempts by Snuggerud and Holloway to preserve the win.

The Flyers outshot the Blues 5-1 in the scoreless overtime.

Holloway put the Blues ahead 4-3 — their third lead of the night — 40 seconds into the third period with a shot from the left circle. It gave him a goal in three straight games.

Thomas' one-timer from between the circles gave St. Louis its second two-goal lead of the night at 4:56.

Dvorak again pulled the Flyers back within one from between the circles at 7:53, and Tippett tied it 5-5 from the high slot with 9:31 remaining.

Faulk's one-timer off a feed from Fowler went over Ersson's blocker to push the Blues' lead to 3-1 at 6:54 of the second.

Dvorak knocked in a loose puck from the right side of the goal 23 seconds later to pull the Flyers back within one.

Zegras got his second of the night with 1:36 remaining in the middle period to tie it 3-3.

Kyrou got the Blues on the scoreboard 1:19 into the game, taking the puck from Zegras on the right side near the red line and skating in and beating Ersson from the right circle.

Zegras tied it at 8:18 of the first, scoring from the inside edge of the right circle on a rush.

Snuggerud put the Blues ahead 2-1 at 9:42 as he got a pass from Thomas in the slot and fired it past Ersson.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday claimed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “hasn’t read” a U.S-authored peace proposal aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war.

Trump was critical of Zelenskyy after U.S. and Ukrainian negotiators completed three days of talks on Saturday aimed at trying to narrow differences on the U.S. administration’s proposal. But in an exchange with reporters on Sunday night, Trump suggested that the Ukrainian leader is holding up the talks from moving forward.

“I’m a little bit disappointed that President Zelenskyy hasn’t yet read the proposal, that was as of a few hours ago. His people love it. But he hasn’t — Russia’s fine with it,” Trump told reporters on the red carpet at the Kennedy Center Honors. “Russia is, I believe, fine with it, but I’m not sure that Zelenskyy’s fine with it. His people love it, but he hasn’t read it.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin also hasn’t publicly expressed approval for the White House plan. In fact, Putin last week had said that aspects of Trump’s proposal were unworkable, even though the original draft heavily favored Moscow.

Trump has had a hot-and-cold relationship with Zelenskyy since riding into a second White House term insisting that the war was a waste of U.S. taxpayer money. Trump has also repeatedly urged the Ukrainians to cede land to Russia to bring an end to a now nearly four-year conflict he says has cost far too many lives.

Zelenskyy said Saturday he had a “substantive phone call” with the American officials engaged in the talks with a Ukrainian delegation in Florida. He said he had been given an update over the phone by U.S. and Ukrainian officials at the talks.

“Ukraine is determined to keep working in good faith with the American side to genuinely achieve peace,” Zelenskyy wrote on social media.

Trump’s criticism of Zelenskyy came as Russia on Sunday welcomed the Trump administration’s new national security strategy in comments by the Kremlin spokesman published by Russia’s Tass news agency.

Dmitry Peskov said the updated strategic document, which spells out the administration’s core foreign policy interests, was largely in line with Moscow’s vision.

“There are statements there against confrontation and in favor of dialogue and building good relations,” he said, adding that Russia hopes this would lead to “further constructive cooperation with Washington on the Ukrainian settlement.”

The document released Friday by the White House said the U.S. wants to improve its relationship with Russia after years of Moscow being treated as a global pariah and that ending the war is a core U.S. interest to “reestablish strategic stability with Russia.”

Speaking on Saturday at the Reagan National Defense Forum, Trump’s outgoing Ukraine envoy, Keith Kellogg, said efforts to end the war were in “the last 10 meters.”

He said a deal depended on the two outstanding issues of “terrain, primarily the Donbas,” and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

Russia controls most of Donbas, its name for the Donetsk and neighboring Luhansk regions, which, along with two southern regions, it illegally annexed three years ago. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is in an area that has been under Russian control since early in Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine and is not in service. It needs reliable power to cool its six shutdown reactors and spent fuel, to avoid any catastrophic nuclear incidents.

Kellogg, who is due to leave his post in January, was not present at the talks in Florida.

Separately, officials said the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Germany would participate in a meeting with Zelenskyy in London on Monday.

As the three days of talks wrapped up, Russian missile, drone and shelling attacks overnight and Sunday killed at least four people in Ukraine.

A man was killed in a drone attack on Ukraine’s northern Chernihiv region Saturday night, local officials said, while a combined missile and drone attack on infrastructure in the central city of Kremenchuk caused power and water outages. Kremenchuk is home to one of Ukraine’s biggest oil refineries and is an industrial hub.

Kyiv and its Western allies say Russia is trying to cripple the Ukrainian power grid and deny civilians access to heat, light and running water for a fourth consecutive winter, in what Ukrainian officials call “weaponizing” the cold.

Three people were killed and 10 others wounded Sunday in shelling by Russian troops in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, according to the regional prosecutor’s office.

This story was first published on Dec. 7, 2025. It was updated on Dec. 8, 2025 to correct that Trump said Zelenskyy hadn’t read the latest proposal, rather than that he wasn’t ready to accept it.
