The Flyers welcomed the Penguins to Wachovia center tonight in a rematch of the embarrassing loss the Flyers incurred in their last game. This time around it was a more spirited effort as they held Pittsburgh two just goals, both on power play. As long as they weren't killing power plays though the Flyer's defense was solid and Brian Boucher was spectacular in goal with 28 saves out of the 30 shots he faced. Unfortunately, the Flyers could only come up with a couple scores as well, with Jeff Carter scoring early in the 1st period and Claude Giroux early in the 2nd period on the power play. Aside from that neither managed a goal through the rest of regulation time and an overtime period. So the game went into a shootout which is never good news for the Flyers. Accordingly, the Flyers lost the shootout which lasted only 2 rounds, as Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang each scored for the Pens and Giroux and Danny Briere both failed to score for the Flyers. So the Flyers improve to 15-16-2 overall for 32 points, 3 out of 8th in the Eastern conference.
