Guess who beat whom to score the game-winner between the Flyers and Hurricanes. Carter won a 50-50 draw against Brind’Amour, settled the bouncing puck and whipped a shot through the pads of goaltender Michael Leighton for his 19th goal of the season

If Simon Gagne didn’t have a concussion before he took questions from reporters on Friday, he might have afterward. Gagne answered different varieties of the same question with the same repetitive answer. I’m OK, OK? Gagne says a flu bug made him dehydrated and sapped him of his energy on Thursday night, forcing him to miss the final 17 minutes of action in the Flyers’ 3-2 loss.

Simon Gagne left Thursday night’s game against the Devils with about 5 minutes gone in the third period with what he and the club is calling dehydration. On the surface this is not alarming. But in the case of Gagne, dehydration is exactly what he suffered last season when he kept trying to come back from concussions that eventually ended his season. Gagne did not suffer any serious blows to the body or head Thursday night, but it didn’t take much to send him to the injury shelf last season, either.
