Flyers Gameday: 3-21-10 vs. Atlanta
March 21, 2010
PREVIEW (10:30 AM) The Flyers are lucky that the Eastern Conference is so mediocre. If the conference were as deep as the West, the club would probably wind up missing the playoffs this season. Right now, the Flyers aren't exactly staggering toward the finish line but they are hardly sprinting either. Playing .500 hockey doesn't cut it this time of year. Today, the club gets another crack

Inside Flyers’ 3-2 win in Dallas
March 18, 2010
Brian Boucher was sharp when the Flyers needed him most and Scott Hartnell was in the right place at the right time, allowing the Flyers to snap a two-game losing streak with their first win in Dallas since 1996. Boucher stopped 25 shots, including a game-saver against Karlis Skrastins in the final minute of regulation while the Flyers were killing off a cross-checking penalty to Chris Pronger. Hartnell’s goal, his second in three games, bounced off his pants, off the goal post and behind Kari Lehtonen with 7:55 gone in the third period. NOTES, QUOTES --With the win the Flyers jumped from seventh in the Eastern Conference standings to fifth. The Flyers are tied in points with sixth-place Ottawa, but hold one game in hand on the Senators, who have lost four straight. --If the season ended today, the fifth-place Flyers would visit the fourth-place Devils in the first round of the playoffs
