FLYERS NEWS

Against the NHL's worst team, the Edmonton Oilers, the Flyers finally ended their losing streak on the strength of a strong first period, which included a goal and an assist by Danny Briere, and the goaltending of Sergei Bobrovsky in the final 2 periods which made up for some very sloppy defense. Bobrovsky stopped 24 of 25 shots overall as the Flyers were outshot 24-10 in the final 2 periods. Besides the sloppy D the Orange and black also added a couple late scores with Kimmo Timmonen and James Van Reimsdyk assisting Jeff Carter on one score and Blair Betts adding an empty netter to cap off a much needed 4-1 win.
