Sykora injured in Pre-Season game vs. Philadelphia
Canadien Press

Keith Primeau scored both Philadelphia goals as the Flyers tied the New Jersey Devils 2-2 in NHL exhibition play Saturday. Patrik Elias and Bobby Holik replied. Devils forward Petr Sykora injured his left leg in a collision with Philadelphia's Luke Richardson, and Flyers forward Ruslan Fedotenko was helped from the ice after he hurt his right knee in a collision with New Jersey's Mike Commodore. Jeremy Roenick played his first home game with the Flyers, but saw little ice time as a result of 17 penalty minutes he earned in a fight with Mike Jefferson. Primeau gave the Flyers (2-0-2) opened the scoring with a power-play goal in the second period. Elias, who had a goal and an assist, tied it 55 seconds later when he blasted in a shot from the left circle. Holik gave the Devils (1-1-1) a 2-1 lead with his second goal of the preseason. Primeau tied it when he banged home a rebound of a Dan McGillis shot at 11:55 of the third. Philadelphia's Brian Boucher played the entire game and made 30 saves, including a diving glove stop against Elias with seven seconds left in overtime. Jean-Francois Damphousse relieved Devils goalie Martin Brodeur midway through the second period and was aided by four Flyers shots that hit the post, three taken by John LeClair.
