Sharks Bite Down on Boucher, Flyers

Malhotra scores twice in Sharks' win over Flyers

Goalie Brian Boucher wasn’t able to stop the Sharks Sunday night as the Flyers lost 4-1 in South Philly.

Manny Malhotra got his first two goals of the season, Dany Heatley and Jed Ortmeyer also scored as San swam to an easy win.

Patrick Marleau and Dan Boyle had two assists each and backup goalie Thomas Greiss stopped 37 shots for the Sharks, who won for the fourth time in five games to complete a 4-2 road trip.

Darroll Powe scored the lone goal for the Flyers, who had their two-game winning streak snapped.

Boucher stopped 24 shots in his first start of the season. Boucher, who played for the Sharks last season, started for the Flyers for the first time in more than seven years. He made his debut with Philadelphia in 1999 and has played for five NHL teams since then.
