After blowing a huge lead at home the Flyers looked to get back on track tonight in Florida and they did barely. Fortunately the Panther's offensive attack was typically lackluster or the Orange and Black might have ended up blowing another lead. Ultimately their defense got the job done this time blocking 22 shots and holding Florida to just 22 shots on goal, 20 of which were stopped by Brian Boucher. Jeff Carter scored a pair of goals to took care of the rest. The Flyers had the early 1-0 lead as Ville Leino and Mike Richards set up Scott Hartnell. The Orange and Black trailed 2-1 at the end of the first before Carter took over. 4 minutes into the 2nd period Claude Giroux picked up the assist as Carter tied it at 2. Then with about 5 minutes left in the period Danny Briere picked up an assist as Carted made it 3-2. That would be all the Flyers would need as the defense and Boucher hung on in the final period for the 3-2 win.
