The Orange and Black remained winless as they headed to Pittsburgh to faceoff with the Penguins. Antero Niittymaki got the call in net this time around, after Marty Biron lost the Flyers first two of the season, and delivered a stellar performance with 25 saves on 27 shots in regulation. However, despite his performance and dramatic goals by Simon Gagne and Jeff Carter late in the 2nd period to tie it up at 2, it not would be enough to avoid an embarrassing 0-3 start. Brooks Orpik and Mike Zigormanik each scored with about 5 minutes left in the 2nd period for a 2-0 Pens lead. Then with less than a minute left, Gagne and Carter each scored to tie it up at 2. It stayed that way until the game had dragged into overtime. There with about 10 seconds left Kevin Letang scored on a semi break away through the depleted Flyer's D for a heartbreaking 3-2 Pens victory. So the Flyers drop to 0-3 overall and have far more questions for themselves than answers at this point, but hopefully they'll figure something out soon.
