Flyers 3 Islanders 2
It Was Over When....
The Final Buzzer sounded. Despite leading 3-0 with under 4 minutes to play in the 3rd period, the Flyers were still forced to hang on for the win as the Islanders heated up, scoring 2 goals with 3 minutes to play.
The Game Puck Goes To....
Mike Knuble, who scored the Flyers first goal of the night and assisted on what turned out to be the game winner late in the 3rd period by Ryan Potulny, and once again goalie Robert Esche who recorded 39 saves on the night and denied the Islanders the game tying goal in the final seconds.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
1, as in only 1 period played on the night by Flyers superstar Peter Forsberg who again had to leave a game early, this time due to a groin injury. However, the Flyers were actually able to win without him for once, and that's good sign for this team, considering that until now the Flyers had yet to win a game in which Forsberg didn't play in all 3 periods.
The Bottom Line Is....
This is 3 wins in a row for the Flyers now so who knows maybe the Flyers are finally ready to start turning things around.
