Giroux scores shootout winner for Flyers

Oct 23, 2009 - 3:14 AM 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 Rask.

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.
