The streaking Philadelphia Flyers are Jack Eichel Jerseyriding high on confidence. Mark Streit and Wayne Simmonds scored third-period goals to lead Philadelphia to a 3-2 comeback victory over the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night for their fourth straight win. Jakub Voracek had a goal and two assists and Claude Giroux assisted on all three goals for Philadelphia. The http://www.officialsabresteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Jack_Eichel_Jersey Flyers won their sixth straight at home. ''It's all about confidence,''http://www.officialsabresteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Jack_Eichel_Jersey Giroux said. ''Right now we have it, and we have to make sure we keep it.'' Loui Eriksson and Kevan Miller scored for Boston, which has just two wins in its last 10 games. Simmonds tied it with 9:50 left and Streit Connor McDavid Kids Jerseyscored 1:22 later on a rebound that beat goalie Tuukka Rask from a sharp angle. It was Streit's fourth goal of the season. The defenseman missed six weeks in November and December following groin surgery. ''I just tried to get it on net and luckily it went in,'' Streit said. ''You can just feel the team has a lot of confidence. We are going in the right direction. We don't panic. The atmosphere in the locker room is great. It's a lot of fun to come to the rink.'' Simmonds followed http://www.officialoilersteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Connor_Mcdavid_Jerseyup his own shot and beat Rask on the short side to tie the game. The victory comes at a pivotal stretch for the Flyers, who play their next eight games against Eastern Conference teams. All but Toronto, the Flyers' opponent next Tuesday, began Wednesday above Philadelphia in the standings. The Flyers began Wednesday in 13th place but just four points out of a playoff spot. ''A night like tonight where we're not at our best, there's still a confidence just to stay with it,'' Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said. Hakstol attributes the players' confidence to their togetherness.
