Phoenix goalie Ilya Bryzgalov, left, celebrates the Coyotes' win against Philadelphia with teammate Taylor Pyatt on Saturday.

The 20-year-old Middletown, N.J., native netted the difference-making goals in the Flyers ' victories against New Jersey and Los Angeles this week.

For the second game in a row, the Flyers will face a high-powered offense when they take on the Sharks tonight in San Jose.

The Flyers did not have much time to bask in the satisfaction of their streak-busting 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils Monday night.

Ray Emery defeated his former teammates, but the Flyers goalie was upstaged by two players who returned from injuries - Danny Briere and James van Riemsdyk - and combined for three goals in last night's 5-1 win over the Ottawa Senators.

For a few hours, Brian Boucher moved from his usual seat on the Philadelphia Flyers' bench to the center of the Los Angeles Kings' target during a 21-shot third period.

No team in the NHL has played fewer road games than the Flyers, who face off against the Los Angeles Kings tonight in just their sixth road test of the season.

Frequently, the target was New Jersey Devils netminder - who could go down as the best goalie to ever play the game by the time his career is over.

A lot had changed since the Flyers crushed the New Jersey Devils by three goals in the second game of the season.

Dan Carcillo is a Hockey goon who spends most of his time in the penalty box and is a liability when he's on the ice.

For weeks, Flyers coach John Stevens has lauded his players for being aggressive without taking careless penalties.

Tyler Ennis described his first game in the NHL as an awesome experience. Ennis scored his first NHL goal and Ryan Miller stopped 29 shots to help the Buffalo Sabres snap the Philadelphia Flyers' five game winning streak, 3-2 on Saturday night.

Daniel Briere knows exactly what Ray Emery is feeling. When Briere left the Buffalo Sabres for the Philadelphia Flyers, who lured him with a barrel of free-agent cash, he had to deal with the nervousness of his first game against his former teammates.

Whatever smugness the NHL may feel about pounding Jim Balsillie into submission this summer is sure to be short-lived. The troubles in Phoenix are anything but done, of course, and it's almost a given fires will be springing up in other fringe markets the deeper we get into this season.

Known as an in-your-face player, Pronger may be in your face in other ways soon.

Jeff Carter has always been one to shoot first and answer questions about assists later.

There are few players who know Ray Emery better than Ottawa sniper Jason Spezza.

Those holding out faint hope that Peter Forsberg might try one last comeback with the Flyers will be discouraged to learn he might be headed to Russia instead.

Flyers goalie Ray Emery will play his former team, the Ottawa Senators, on Thursday for the first time.

Some of the Flyers were in Citizens Bank Park suites Monday, watching Game 5 of the recently completed World Series.
