LIGHTNING (4-3-4) @ FLYERS (6-4-1)
Puck Drop: 5:00 pm ET
Season series: This is the first of four meetings between the teams this season. Last season, they split four games, with each winning once in the other’s home arena. Mike Richards and Jeff Carter each had a pair of two-goal games for Philadelphia. Vinny Prospal had 3 goals in four games.
Big Story: The Flyers are banged up at forward, but they’re coming off a rout of the Hurricanes and have won three of their last four at home. The Lightning are winless on the road.
With three days off following tonight’s game, here’s to hoping Philly skates hard tonight.
