Flyers try to end long Tampa drought

TAMPA, Fla. -- The last time the Flyers won a game in Tampa, their goal scorers were James van Riemsdyk, Scott Hartnell and Darroll Powe, and their goalie was Brian Boucher.

Yeah, it's been a while. Five years, in fact.

The Flyers have lost eight straight in Tampa since that 4-3 victory, which was decided on Kimmo Timonen's goal in the seventh shootout round.

The teams will meet Friday night at Amalie Arena at 7:30.

The Flyers are three points behind the Penguins and four points behind Detroit in the battle for the last two wild-card spots.
