Philadelphia - - Flyers forward Ville Leino has had a whirlwind season. He had trouble fitting in early on and got very little ice time. Then all of a sudden this former scoring champ of the Finnish Elite League caught fire, got tons of power play time, and has been a top-notch scorer. He’s tied the club rookie scoring record previously help by Brian Propp and now he has been one of the team’s most reliable scorers in the Stanley Cup. What’s his secret? How has he had this kind of success against Hawks goalie Antti Niemi?

The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have acquired forward Ville Leino (VIHL-ee LAY-noh) from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for Ole-Kristian Tollefsen and a fifth round draft pick in 2011, according to club General Manager Paul Holmgren.
