Read Lifts Flyers Past Phoenix 2-1

Matt Read knocked in a rebound with 18.6 seconds left to lift the Philadelphia Flyers to a 2-1 win over the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday night.

Read's sixth goal of the season made a winner out of goalie Ilya Bryzgalov in his first game against the Coyotes. Bryzgalov spent four years with Phoenix and blossomed into one of the NHL's top goalies. Phoenix sent Bryzgalov's negotiating rights to the Flyers and he signed a nine year, $51 million deal.

James van Riemsdyk scored for the Flyers. Mikkel Boedker had the lone goal for the Coyotes.

Mike Smith has replaced Bryzgalov in the Phoenix net, and he had a solid game in stopping 40 shots.

Flyers forward Jaromir Jagr left with an undisclosed lower body injury. Jagr played only 1 minute, 22 seconds over three shifts before being forced out in the first period.
