FLYERS NEWS

After a solid win over the Predators the Flyers looked to keep it going tonight as the Dallas Stars visited the Wells Fargo center. Despite the solid play of Sergei Bobrovsky last time out, Brian Boucher got the start in goal tonight and was brilliant saving 30 of the 31 shots he faced, including a game saving glove save in the 3rd period. Meanwhile on the other side of the ice 8 different Flyers registered points to help dim the Stars a bit.

Late in the first period Ville Leino setup Andrej Meszaros to blast one in from the point for a 1-0 lead. Just over a minute into the 2nd period Sean O'Donnell and Blair Betts setup Darroll Powe on a shorthanded breakaway as he wired one past Kari Lehtonen for a 2-0 lead. After Dallas cut it to 2-1 late in the 2nd, the Orange and Black came back halfway through 3rd period with Jeff Carter stuffing one in for a 3-1 lead. From there the Flyer defense and Boucher ensured the Orange and Black would win by that same score.
