PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Claude Giroux scored on a
backhand-to-forehand move in a shootout, then Michael Ryder's wrist
shot hit the post on Boston's final attempt, giving the
Philadelphia Flyers a 4-3 victory over the Bruins on Thursday
night.

Playing for only the second time in 12 days due to a scheduling
quirk, the well-rested Flyers shook off rust by the peppering 39
shots at Bruins goalie Tuukka Rusk.

The Flyers had a chance in the game's closing seconds, but Jeff
Carter's short-handed breakaway attempt was stopped by Rusk.
Philadelphia is 1-1 in shootouts.

Philadelphia (4-2-1) snapped a three-game losing streak after
starting the season 3-0 for the first time since 1998-99. Boston
dropped to 4-5-0.
