This was a very good win for the orange and black. Ottawa were coming off a 3 game winning streak and got their number one goalie back between the pipes, which ended up being his and their first shutout lose of the season.
Jake Voracek netted 2 goals and goalie Steve Mason got his first shutout victory and recorded 24 saves on the night. Needless to say these two were the Flyers top performers in this game. Matt Read had this to say after the game,
"We got back to the basics," said Reader, who had the Flyers' first goal Tuesday, on a beautiful wrap around. "The first month we tried to do things when we didn't have them and now we're just keeping things simple by getting pucks deep and getting pucks out when we have to and winning puck battles along the boards. "Those little things turn into victories."Vincent Lecavalier and Brayden Schenn also scored for the Flyers and captain Claude Giroux recorded 2 assists. Goalie Steve Mason was very pleased with the team effort in this game.
"This was an extremely sound effort all around and from a defensive standpoint we didn't give a lot up."Next up for the Flyguys, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the dreaded rivals. The Flyers will be traveling to Pittsburgh and in recent years the Flyers have played very well on the Penguins home ice. They will look to build off that and the last 2 wins to fuel them into another victory tonight. It will be a tough game no doubt, the Penguins are a good and very sound team.
