FLYERS NEWS

More goals and more dazzling goaltending for the Flyers tonight as they defeated the struggling Atlanta Thrashers 4-0. Sami Kapanen, Jeff Carter, Mike Richards, and Randy Jones, scored the Flyer's goals on the night and Marty Biron pitched the shutout, with 31 saves on the night. The Game was scoreless through the 1st period as Thrasher goalie Johan Hedberg, looked as equally up to the task as Biron. Then in the 2nd period, the Flyers exploded for 3 goals, as Richards scored early in the period, and Kapanen and Carter scored seconds apart from each other with about 7 minutes to play in the period. Randy Jones added a 4th goal in the 3rd period, and just like that the Flyers got their 4th win of the season, to improve to 4-1. Considering they didn't get their 4th win last season until mid-November, I'd say the Orange and Black are back in business.
