FLYERS NEWS

The Flyers welcomed Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals to the Wachovia center tonight. Marty Biron got another start in goal and was solid saving 28 of the 30 shots he faced. Unfortunately the Flyers themselves could only score one goal, as they went o for 4 on the power play and eventually the Caps would outlast them. Brooks Laich scored late in the 2nd period for a 1-0 Caps lead. Late in the 2nd period Mike Knuble finally put the Flyers on the board knotting it up at 1. A few minutes later Ovechkin himself put the Caps back ahead to stay 2-1. Thanks to the spectacular play of Jose Theodore that was enough for a Caps win. So the Orange and Black drop to 36-20-10 overall but remain 4th in the Eastern conference.

Like I've been saying for awhile now, 4th place isnt a bad place to be.
