WITH TIME running out and two points hanging in the balance, Claude Giroux was tired of waiting. He knew the Flyers wouldn't get many more opportunities.
Their 14-game winning streak over the Islanders was the least of his worries.
Giroux took a cross-ice pass from Mike Richards just inside the Islanders' blue line and went in unimpeded on Dwayne Roloson - a goaltender the Flyers inquired about at last week's trade deadline - and made Mark Streit pay for a boarding penalty.
Giroux's top-shelf, power-play backhand goal knotted the game for the first time since the first period and rallied the Flyers from a two-goal deficit to beat the visiting Islanders, 3-2.
