Congratulations to Kevin Wehrs who scored his first goal for the Flyers.
Also congratulations to Johan Eriksson who was playing in his 100th EIHL game having also played 18 games for the Guildford Flames and 38 games for the Dundee Stars.
Flyers ended a streak of four games conceding a powerplay goal which was their longest stretch this season.
