The Flyer's welcomed the Dallas Stars to the Wachovia center tonight as they looked to continue the hot streak they have been on. Although Ray Emery was activated for tonight's game Micheal Leighton remained in goal for the Orange and Black and he was great again with 27 saves, as the Flyer's defense stifled Dallas most of the night. Meanwhile, the Flyer's themselves couldn't stop scoring. Early in the 1st period Scott Hartnell scored on the power play for a 1-0 lead. Early in the 2nd period scores by Darroll Powe and Kimmo Timonen, shorthanded, pushed the lead to 3-1. Then late in the period Claude Giroux scored on the power play and Ian Laperriere recorded a rare goal, for a 5-1 lead. Finally midway through the 3rd period Simon Gagne slapped in a rebound for a 6-1 lead and that was about all she wrote for Dallas as the Flyers went on to win easily 6-3. So at this point with 49 points overall, the Flyer's, currently the hottest team in the NHL, sit 7th in the eastern conference. Not bad huh.
