FLYERS SHUTOUT NJ

Philadelphia, PA- The Flyers improved their preseason record to 1-1 with a 5-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils last night at the Wacovia Center. It looked like it was going to be a chippy game early. NJ's Keith Tkachuk & Patrick Sharp dropped the gloves 2:11 into the game, each recived 5 for fighting & 2 for roughing, but Tkachuk also was given the instigator. A few minutes later, Alexandre Picard & NJ's Jason Smith looked like they were ready to go too, but the refs stepped in before punches could be thrown, but each received minors.

The Flyers got goals from 5 different scorers. Jeff O'Neill scored on Martin Brodeur at 11:51 in the first. At 15:53, Simon Gagne scored a PP goal. In the second, Marc-Andre Bergeron welcomed Scott Clemmensen to the game with the Flyers 2nd PP goal. In the third, Dany Heatley scored just 30 seconds in & Jeff Carter added a SH goal at 7:40.

J.S. Giguere stopped 19shots (4/4 GR) & Antero Niittymaki stopped 11. Flyers out shot N.J. 32-30, and went 2 for 4 on the PP while stopping all 5 N.J. PP chances
