In the night of Gagne's return the Lightning's other former Flyer came out big. Steve Downie, as he usually does, had a big game against the Flyers with 2 assists and a plus 2. Steven Stamkos netted his 4th of the season in only their 3rd game. Dan Ellis got a nother win with the Bolts as their record went to 3-0-0 this season.
Goals came by Nik Zherdev, his 1st, and Danny Briere, his 3rd of the season. Brian Boucher saw his second loss in as many games as the Flyers record fell to 2-1-1, he went 21 of 24. The Flyers saw comeback hopes up to the final second where Jeff Carter nearly tied the game with a tip in in front. The Game ended off 3-2.
Tampa bay look much improved since last season, as expected. The Goaltending of Dan Ellis was superb in a 24 saves effort. This was a game that in previous season would be won by the Flyers just because the Bolts didn't have the scoring prowess they have now.
Next Game: Saturday October 16th at 6pm, live from Philadelphia. Versus the Pens.
