FLYERS NEWS

Well the miracle has happened, the Flyers have actually won a game this season and in New Jersey against the Devils no less. Marty Biron finally seemed to regain form shutting out the Devils in the final two periods. Meanwhile, Mike Richards racked up 4 assists as 6 different Flyers scored goals on the night. Now that's what I call teamwork. Early on though things didn't look so great. Just 47 seconds into the game Travis Zajac blasted one in for a 1-0 Devils lead. Jeff Carter tied it up a minute later. Then midway through the period Mike Knuble scored for a 2-1 Flyer's lead. However, the Devils fired back with a pair of goals late in the period from ex-Flyer Dainus Zubrus, and Zach Parise for a 3-2 lead. Midway through the 2nd period Simon Gagne tied it up again and then late in the period Scott Hartnell put the Flyers up 4-3. Midway through the 3rd period Joffrey Lupul made it 5-3. Finally with a couple minutes to play Hartnell scored again to finish off the 6-3 victory. So the Flyers move to 1-3-3 overall for a total of 5 points which moves them from dead last in the NHL to next to dead last in the NHL. Go Flyers!
