The Flyers Fall To The Stars, 2-1

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Vernon Fiddler scored the go-ahead goal late in the third period to lift the Dallas Stars to a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night.

Brett Ritchie also scored for the Stars, who won for just the fourth time in their last 38 trips to Philadelphia.

Luke Schenn scored for the free-falling Flyers, who lost their third straight to tumble further out of playoff contention. The loss snapped a six-game home point streak for Philadelphia, which lost at home in regulation for just the second time in 13 games.

Fiddler scored the game-winner with about 6 minutes left in the third period. Colton Sceviour centered a pass from the right boards and Fiddler redirected it past Steve Mason from the goalie's doorstep.

Kari Lehtonen made 24 saves to earn his first career victory.
