Panthers Vs. Flyers Recap: Florida Holds On For Huge Road Win

The Florida Panthers went into Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday night and pulled off a huge 2-1 road win over the Flyers. Scott Clemmensen, who's seen little action lately, was dynamite for Kevin Dineen. The Cats' netminder stopped 35 of 36 shots the Flyers put on him, and withstood a relentless barrage in the final minutes of the game to make Florida's 2-1 lead hold up.

It was a relatively clean final period, with no power play chances for either team. Eric Wellwood was the only Flyer to score - a flukey goal in the second period that hit off a Panther defenseman. Clemmensen did not let it get to him over the final 30 minutes of the game. Miraculously, the Cats put only 13 shots on goal but managed to sneak two by Ilya Bryzgalov. The Cats escape and hold a five-point lead in the Southeast Division. They now head to Carolina where they will face the Hurricanes on the second night of back-to-back road games.

Panthers Vs. Flyers Score Update: Florida Leads By One After 40 Minutes

After one period at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, the Florida Panthers lead the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1. The Cats jumped out to a two-goal lead early in the second period when Sean Bergenheim scored his 17th goal of the season on a power play score that beat Ilya Bryzgalov.

The Flyers would respond a little over a minute later, when Eric Wellwood ended the Scott Clemennsen shutout with just his fourth goal of the season. Wellwood fired a puck from behind the net that deflected off a Florida defensemen for an extremely flukey goal that cut the lead in half. Florida, however, will start the final period with nearly two minutes on the power play and have a golden chance to push the lead back to two.
