Danny Briere scored his first goal in 20 games Thursday night.

It was a nice way to go out, if this truly was his last home game with the Flyers. Briere's deal is expected to be bought out or he will be traded in the offseason. He has six goals and 16 points this season. "It's my home," he said. "One of the best places to play. Ask anyone in the NHL. The fans have been amazing."

Thursday's game versus the New York Islanders may be Daniel Briere's last home appearance with the Philadelphia Flyers.

Briere and his sizable cap hit are expected to be traded or bought out during the off-season, but he isn't letting that distract him from finishing out the 2013 campaign. "I'm not thinking about that... things change fast in the hockey world," Briere said after Wednesday's practice. "For me, it's just another game. Nobody knows what's going to happen. I can't start thinking about all those rumors. It's just like at the trade deadline. If you start getting into that trap, it gets you off your game." He has five goals and 15 points in 32 games and hasn't found the back of the net in his last 19 outings.

Danny Briere returned to the lineup Saturday after missing 10 games with a concussion.

"We didn't do enough in the offensive zone to deserve to win," Briere said after the game. Briere also missed the first four games of the season with a hairline fracture of the left wrist and hasnt been able to find the scoresheet with any kind on consistency in 2013. He has only five goals and 13 points in 27 games this season. He's only worth a look in deeper leagues for the stretch run.
