Peter Forsberg had a goal and two assists and the Flyers scored three unanswered goals in the second period as they defeated the New York Rangers. The line of Forsberg, Knuble and Gagne finished with seven points on the night. Penalty killing was key for Philadelphia. The Flyers killed off 7-of-8 Rangers power plays. As for the Montreal Canadians it looks as though backup David Aebischer will get the start tonight at the Wachovia center. It appears as though Montreal has a goalie controversy. Huet was expected to be the number one goalie this year but in his season debut Friday against Buffalo, Huet gave up goals to Daniel Briere and Maxim Afinogenov in the final 4:44 of regulation. Look for Forsbergs line to stay hot and keep the goals coming. I'm taking the Flyers at home.
