<p>Jaromir Jagr's return to Pittsburgh Thursday night was a big story in the NHL, plus he scored a great goal so obviously NHL.com made a big deal of it. But I got a particular kick out of the puns they used to describe the action. First, was his goal, which they titled "Jaro-merely Doing his Job"</p>

<p>And then the Alanis Morissette allusion to title their game recap....</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.broadstreethockey.com/">Flyers</a> broke their two game losing streak with a 4-2 road over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.pensburgh.com/">Penguins</a> in what will be their final tune-up before the Winter Classic on January 2nd. <span>Sergei Bobrovsky</span> made 24 saves while <span>Jaromir Jagr</span> and Max Talbot, both ex-Penguins, scored in their return to Pittsburgh. The Flyers are now 4-0 at Consol Energy Center.</p>
<p>The home team got off to a fast start when <span>Jordan Staal</span> scored just :44 seconds into the game. However, the Flyers would respond with three straight goals from Kimmo Timmonen, Jaromir Jagr (12) and <span>Matt Read</span> (12). The Pens would keep it close when <span>Tyler Kennedy</span> scored late in the third period, but an empty net goal from Max Talbot ended the threat. It’s Talbot’s 10th of the season, a total he took the last two years to reach in Pittsburgh.</p>
<p><span>Claude Giroux</span>, <span>Jakub Voracek</span> & <span>Sean Couturier</span> each had two points on the night. For Couturier, it was his first game back since being hit in the ear with a puck against Boston.</p>
<p>The win leaves the Flyers tied for second in the Eastern Conference with the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blueshirtbanter.com/">New York Rangers</a>, setting up what should be an epic outdoor tilt on January 2nd in the Winter Classic.</p>

<p>Flyers forward Jaromir Jagr returns to Pittsburgh to take on his old team tonight.</p> <p>The Philadelphia Flyers (21-10-4) travel to the Consol Energy Center tonight to take on the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.pensburgh.com/">Pittsburgh Penguins</a> (21-11-4) at 7 p.m. (TV: CSN-PH).</p>
<p>Both teams are tied for second place in the Atlantic Division with 46 points. The Flyers are 1-3-1 in their last five games while the Penguins are on a four-game winning streak. This will be the last game of the year for the Flyers. Their next game will be the 2012 Winter Classic against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blueshirtbanter.com/">New York Rangers</a> on Jan. 2, 2012.</p>
<p><span>Jaromir Jagr</span> will be playing against the Penguins in Pittsburgh for the first time as a Flyer. Jagr played the first 11 years of his career in Pittsburgh. His last game at Pittsburgh came in 2008 when he was a member of the Rangers. Jagr said about his return:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"To me, it doesn't matter," Jagr said of returning to Pittsburgh. "I just play every game the same - Pittsburgh, Rangers, Tampa Bay. It doesn't matter." (<a href="http://flyers.nhl.com/club/preview.htm?id=2011020543" target="_blank">via Flyers.nhl.com</a>)</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>Scott Hartnell</span> enters the game on a four-game point streak. Hartnell is tied for the Flyers' lead in goals (17) and is second in points (33). <span>Evgeni Malkin</span> has an eight-game point streak for Pittsburgh. The Flyers have not yet decided who will be in net to try to stop Malkin and the Penguins.</p>
