Stat Trick: Flyers 3, Isles 2

1. Chris Simon's goal was #144 of his career. His last goal came in the game that earned him his 25 game suspension -- on March 8th against the Rangers. Miro Satan earned an assist on the Simon goal, extending his point-scoring streak to 8 straight games.

2. The Flyers are now 5-2-0 in divisional play. They won only five divisional games all last season (5-20-7).

3. Marc-Andre Bergeron's ill-timed pinch contributed to Richards' winning SH goal. It capped a rough (-2) night for Bergeron, who was able to get only two of his ten shots on goal (6 blocked, 2 missed). Overall, the Flyers blocked 22 shots (6 by Kimmo Timonen).
