FLYERS NEWS

The Flyers came into tonight looking to rebound after a tough mistake filled loss in the first game of their series with the Pens. Just like Friday night they kept it close for most of the night, but ultimately a late turnover by Steve Downie in the Flyer's own zone led to their downfall, and helped the Pens pull out another one. Late in the first period of play Sid the Kid scored a lucky goal for a 1-0 Pens lead. Early in the 2nd period of play Jeff Carter scored on the power play to tie it at 1. Then late in the period Marian Hossa scored on the power play for the Pens for a 2-1 lead and Mike Richards scored shorthanded on the next Pens power play to tie it up again at 2. Midway through the 3rd period of play, Downie turned it over in the Flyers zone, and Max Talbot scored off a perfect pass for a 3-2 Pens lead. From there the Flyers fought hard to tie up again and pulled Marty Biron from in front of the net, in the favor of the extra attacker, with about a minute to play, but no sooner had they done so, when Jordan Staal scored on the empty net to cap off a 4-2 Pens win. So now the Flyer's trail 2-0 as they head back to the Wachovia center for game 3, where are Andy Delmore and Keith Primeau when you need them.
