Flyers Win 3rd Straight, In Pittsburgh 2-1

Well after tonight you can't call the Flyers recent win streak a fluke. There were some questions as to whether or not the guys had put it back together coming into tonight's game. Scoring 9 in the last 2 games it had surely looked that way, but there's no greater test than playing the Penguins in their home arena. Though for the Flyers that actually doesn't seem to be too hard. Let me put this simply, we own the Penguins in their own arena. With this win the Flyers are now 7-1-1 at the Consol Energy Center since it opened.

The Penguins looked like the better team out of the gate, but that's why you play the game. Something I noticed about the Penguins, they did not waste anytime between the blue lines. Almost every time they got the puck into the Flyers' zone it came on a long saucer pass. This led to a high volume of shots for the Penguins, 16 to 8 in their favor after the first, but they could not capitalize.

The scoring almost got started seconds into the game when Chris Kunitz looked to have scored on a third rebound. This was called back though due to the obvious kicking motion. Later in the first period, Wayne Simmonds looked like a man possessed, stripping the puck from the Penguins defense single-handedly and feeding Brayden Schenn for the goal.

Crosby evened the score in the second on a deflection that got by Grossman on its way across the front of the net. The tie was short-lived as Brayden Schenn scored his second goal on the power play. Schenn has 6 goals now, 1 behind team leader, Vincent Lecavalier.

The Flyers defense held strong, breaking up almost every chance the Penguins had on breakaways. Everything looked solid tonight, the offense, the defense and of course the goaltending. Ray Emery registered his second win of the year, saving 30 of 31 shots.

The Flyers head to possibly the most depressing city to have an NHL team, Winnipeg, on Friday to see if they can make it four.
