So when is Philadelphia going to get that great offense in gear? Oh, they just did, off a 7-1 rout of Florida on the road Saturday. Matt Read notched his first career hat trick and Wayne Simmonds, Tye McGinn, Luke Schenn, and Ruslan Fedotenko also scored for the Flyers, while Ilya Bryzgalov had 30 saves. And Flyers Center Danny Briere made his season debut Saturday after missing the first four games with a hairline fracture of the left wrist. That offense will do fine again as this Tampa Bay team is all about attacking on offense but paying little attention to defense at 15th in goals allowed and 13th on the power play. The Lightning are 1-4 in their last five after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game, so grab the talented visitors. Play the Flyers.
