Flyers strike Lightning as Betts and Richards score 2 each
Blair Betts nets 2
Mike Richards scored 2 goals, had an assist
and was +2 in 21 minutes against the Lightning Wednesday night.
The Flyers put up 5 goals and back up goalie Mike Leighton stopped 31 shots as the Flyers won in Tampa
Bay Wednesday night. Interestingly the Flyers did not overly celebrate goals, but were more business like in the game.
Blair Betts was the benefactor of being in the right place at the right time crashing the net for 2 goals. Mike Richards
scored a power play goal to give the Flyers a 2-0 lead, then scored on a 2 on 1 to give them a 3-2 lead. Simon Gagne
scored an open net goal, his second of the season and first since returning from injury. The Flyers committed only 4
penalties, I believe a season low. As bad as they have been, they are still only 4 points out of a playoff spot.
Kimmo Timonen was +1 with a hit and 5 blocked shots against the Lightning.

Brian Boucher stopped 22 shots, allowing only 2 power
play goals on Tuesday against the Islanders. Brian figures to get plenty of playing time as Ray Emery is out for 6 weeks
after surgery.

I think Brian has warmed to the task and is playing
great. It will be interesting to see what happens when Ray Emery returns, at the end of January.
