The Flyers welcomed the Tampa Bay Lightning to the Wachovia center tonight as they looked for their 3rd straight win. Tampa came in to the game weary, and it showed as they Flyer's held them to just 18 shots on goal and Micheal Leighton, in goal maybe for the last time with Ray Emery slated to return tomorrow, stopped 17 of them. Meanwhile, Simon Gagne, assisted Claude Giroux on a power play goal, for his 500th career point, late in the 1st period, Scott Hartnell scored his first goal in some time early in the 3rd period, and Blair Betts scored twice late in the 3rd period, including an empty netter, to cap off a 4-1 Flyer's victory. It was just a solid effort all around for the Flyer's and they deserved the win. At this point, with 47 points overall, the Flyer's are up to 9th in the Eastern conference, just 1 point out of 8th. So today 2 of the 3 Philly teams won and you know what they say, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Of course that 1 was a little more important than those 2 but oh well better luck next year.
