The Flyers come back from two goals down to beat the Islanders 3-2. Flyers were out shot 20-5 in the first period, they played like crap. Kudos to Richards for stepping up and fighting one of the Islanders tough guys, but isn’t that what Brashear is for? In the new NHL I don’t think Brashear has enough skating skills to be in Philly long term, unless fighting starts to make a come back.
Carter had a goal and Sharp had two, some of the younger players were stepping up. I have always been a big supporter of Sharp. He is a solid third or forth line player who is not afraid to drop the gloves and can take care of himself.

“A lot of young guys really played well tonight. They helped us come back [with] some of the physical play from guys like Umberger and Sim. Sharp played a heck of a hockey game. They gave us energy tonight.” – Ken Hitchcock

Nittymaki did have a solid game stopping 38 out of 40 shots. The Flyers were out shot again with only 30. Both Islanders goals came on the power play.
The Flyers were last in the league on the penalty kill going into the game.
The three stars were Sharp, Carter and Nittymaki.
