FLYERS NEWS

The Flyers returned home tonight to face the Dallas Stars. Okay so Flyers-Stars isn't exactly Eagles-Cowboys, but its still Philadelphia vs. Dallas and a Flyers win would have been just as sweet. Unfortunately the Flyers did not produce much offense on the night and goalie Marty Biron did not have one of his better nights, allowing 4 goals(3 in the 2nd period), and the Flyers fell. Early in the 1st period Randy Jones made it 1-0 Flyers. Later in the period Jeff Halpern knotted it at 1 and the Starts never trailed agan. The 2nd period belonged to the Stars, as Jussi Jokinen, Antti Miettinen, and Mke Ribeiro each scored to make 4-1 Starts. Finally, in the 3rd period, the goalies put uo matching shutouts until the game had ended in a 4-1 Stars victory. So the Flyers drop to 14-9-2 overall and 2 points out of fist place in the Atlantic division
