FLYERS NEWS

The Orange and Black have started a new streak. Unfortunately it is a losing streak which continued tonight in Ottawa against the Senators. The Flyers were o for 3 on the power play and had just 18 shots on goal, as the Ottawa defense stymied them tonight. Antero Niittymaki had a solid night in goal saving 21 of the 24 shots he faced but it was for naught. Midway through the first period Anton Volchenkov put the Senators up 1-0. A few minutes later Danny Heatley made it 2-0. A little less then midway through the 2nd period Arron Asham scored to cut it to 2-1. That would be as close as the Flyers would get. A few minutes later Jesse Winchester made it 3-1. Finally Chris Neil scored on the Flyers empty net late in the 3rd period to provide the final tally of 4-1. So the Flyers drop to 4-5-3 overall and remain stuck on 11 points overall.
