Carter, Flyers take on Bruins

Feb 4, 2009 - 11:18 AM Boston (37-8-6) at Philadelphia (26-14-9), 7:00 pm EST

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- All-Star Jeff Carter and the Philadelphia Flyers will get their first shot at the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Bruins as the teams open a home-and home series on Wednesday.

The Flyers, who are coming off a 4-0 loss to the St. Louis Blues, will visit the Bruins three days later.

Carter ranks second in the NHL with 32 goals, trailing Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin, who is the reigning Hart Trophy winner.

The 24-year-old Carter was held scoreless along with the rest of his teammates during Saturday's loss as Philadelphia finished its three-game road trip with a 1-2-0 record.

It won't be any easier for Carter in this one against the league's top-ranked defense. The Bruins have allowed just 113 goals this season.

The Bruins have surrendered one tally over their last two contests, picking up back-to-back wins over the New York Rangers and rival Montreal Canadiens this past weekend.
