Leighton helps Philly topple Islanders
Michael Leighton - G - Philadelphia Flyers
March 10, 2010 - 12:20 AM ET

Michael Leighton stopped 23 of 25 shots as the Flyers came back in the third period to defeat the Islanders.

With the exception of last week's rough outing against the Panthers, Leighton has played extremely well for the Flyers of late. The victory gives him seven wins in his last nine starts. Although his GAA and save percentage haven't been extremely valuable for owners in fantasy leagues, Leighton's role as the Flyers clear number one netminder makes him a reliable starter for the rest of the season.
