The Flyers welcomed the Boston Bruins to the Wachovia center tonight, looking to add another one to the win column. Just like last night, they fell behind early, just like last night rallied back in the 3rd period, unfortunately this time Boston had an answer. With the Flyers playing on back to back nights, Antero Niittymaki got the start in goal, and allowed 3 goals early, but from there he saved 15 of the next 16 shots he faced to help the Flyers rally back. Early in the first period Claude Giroux scored for a 1-0 lead. Late in the period Milan Lucic scored to knot it up at 1. A few minutes later Dennis Wideman made it 2-1 Boston. A few minutes later Lucic scored again and it was 3-1 Boston. Late in the 2nd period Mike Richards scored to cut it to 3-2. Early in the 3rd period Mark Recchi, the ex Flyer, scored for a 4-2 Boston lead. Finally with just over a minute to play Simon Gagne scored to cut it to 4-3. The Flyers then had chances to to tie it up late, but they could not, and finally fell 4-3. So the Orange and Black drop to 41-24-10 overall, but remain 4th in the Eastern conference.
