This afternoon the Flyers completed a home and home with the Rangers at the garden. Unfortunately Marty Biron could not start on back to back days , leaving Antero Niittymaki in front of net for the afternoon and it cost the Flyers, as he saved 35 but allowed 4 goals. On the whole though it was the Flyers who seemed to be most affected by playing 2 days in a row, and appeared to have little left in the tank with just 25 shots on goal. Late in the 1st period Sean Avery scored for a 1-0 Ranger lead. Early in the 2nd period Simon Gagne scored to knot it up at 1. A few minutes later Nik Antropov scored for a 2-1 Ranger lead. Early in the 3rd period Avery scored again for a 3-1 lead. Finally late in the period Fredrik Sjostrom scored to put away the 4-1 Ranger victory. So the Flyers drop to 37-21-10 overall but remain 4th in the Eastern conference.

yeah at least, but only just barely, as the Penguins are just 2 points behind them
