Read Helps Bryzgalov Top Former-Phoenix Teammates
Read scored with just 18.6 seconds remaining in regulation to give Bryzgalov a well-deserved 2-1 victory over his former team - and help his netminder serve up some just desserts to a couple of Coyote defenders who made some rather disparaging remarks earlier in the day about their former-goaltender.

Talbot Providing Flyers With Much More than Expected
When Philadelphia inked Talbot to a 5-year, $9 million contract, it seemed he got caught in the cross-fire of Pennsylvania's volatile rivalry. It took a while to warm up to him, but Flyers fans are learning just how lucky they are to have the services of hockey's 'Mad Max'.

Flyers Drafted a Gem in Couturier
Only time will tell just how good of a player the 18-year-old rookie will develop into eventually, but he's looked like anything but a youngster in the first 14 games of the season. He has thrived, notching five goals and eight points.
