FLYERS NEWS

The Flyers welcomed the Florida Panthers to the Wachovia center tonight. After losing two of their last three games the Orange and Black still needed at least a tie in this one to clinch a playoff spot. Thanks to 29 saves by Marty Biron and and yet another goal scored by Jeff Carter they were finally able to book their ticket to the postseason. Early in the 2nd period Brett Mclean scored for a 1-0 Panther's lead. Late in the period Joffrey Lupul scored to knot it up at 1. Early in the 3rd period Carter scored unassisted for a 2-1 lead. From there Biron ensured the night would belong to the Flyers as they held on to win 2-1. So the Orange and Black improve to 43-25-11 overall for 97 points and still 4th in the Eastern conference. They'll probably have to win at least 2 of their last 3 to lock up that 4th seed.
