Hartnell Turns the Trick
In the Flyers 7-1 rout of the Washington Capitals on Saturday afternoon Scott Hartnell picked up his second hat trick in the last five games.
He recorded his first of the season against the Carolina Hurricanes on December 11th.
Jeff Carter also added two goals for the Flyers, which were 54 seconds apart, to bring his league leading total to 24. He is tied for the league lead with Buffalo’s Thomas Vanek.
The Flyers also received goals from Joffrey Lupul and Simon Gagne.
Carter’s line, dubbed the ‘Center City Line,’ scored six of the Flyers seven goals. He is on a line with Hartnell and Lupul.
They are called the ‘Center City Line’ because the three of them all live within walking distance of each other in Center City Philadelphia.
