From Associated Press

The way the Philadelphia Flyers are playing on the power play, they should decline penalties.

John LeClair’s goal with 2:27 left lifted the Flyers to their third consecutive tie, 2-2, against the Boston Bruins on Saturday at Philadelphia.

The Flyers went 0 for 3 on the power play and are 0 for 26 with a man advantage in the last seven games.

“When you play five on five as strong as we are, we’re going to be tough to beat,” Flyer center Jeremy Roenick said.
