Ken Hitchcock called it the new Gordie Howe hat trick. There were 12 seconds left in Tuesday's 2-1 Flyers win over the New Jersey Devils. John Madden, who had won 6 of 7 face-offs with the Flyers' Peter Forsberg, was lining up against him for another. "Peter is playing against one of the best face-off guys in the world," the Flyers' coach said. But on this draw in front of the Flyers' net, Forsberg won. The puck squirted toward the left boards.

Cheer up, Flyers fans. Flyers games will be back on the tube when the long- delayed NHL season begins. The NHL is expected to announce a slashed, 48-game schedule today. PRISM will carry all Flyers home games. Road games will be on Channel 17, PRISM or SportsChannel. The NHL shutdown and the major league baseball players strike that abruptly halted the 1994 season last August has not been good for PRISM's business. PRISM never reveals its number of lost subscribers. The response to such inquiries is a reminder that 80 percent of PRISM's programming is movies and other entertainment.
