After coming off injury reserve for almost two months(High ankle sprain), Michael Leighton was called upon early in the second period after Brian Boucher was plummeted by Ryan Parent falling in to him causing Boucher to leave the game with two sprained MCLs in both of his knees (left game early).

Flyers fans hearts dropped watching Boucher lay on his back in agony holding his leg. Now with another Flyer added to the long injury list along with Ray Emery (hip injury), Jeff Carter (Foot injury), and Ian Laperriere (brain contusion), players have to step up to fill the gaps.

Michael Leighton took the ice nervously and anxious with the Flyers ahead of the Bruins 1-0 early in the second period. After Boucher saved 9 shots earlier, Leighton finished strong with 14 saves and keeping the shutout alive ending the game with Philadelphia 4, Boston 0.

With Boston leading the series 3-2, game six comes home to Philadelphia Wednesday with the Flyers once again playing to keep their season alive. Flyers look to Leighton to once again be a reliable netminder as he was earlier in the season with a strong record of 17-9-2.

The Momentum spark is back with Scott Hartnell stepping up scoring two big goals in game 5 and Simon Gagne coming off injury reserve and putting up big points scoring the game winning goal in game 4 in overtime.

Flyers fans once again put on their rally caps back on and back up their team coming home Wednesday night to watch their Flyers take on the Bruins in game 6 with Boston leading series
3-2.
