The Flyers look to extend their home unbeaten streak to 9 against the Panthers tonight in Philly. The Panthers have not won in the last seven games, losing last night to the Hurricanes 1-0.
Sim’s left ankle was swollen to the size of a grapefruit after taking a shot off the skate boot against the Islanders. The ankle is sore, but not fractured. Sim is expected to be in the lineup tonight against the Florida Panthers.
The Flyers won in OT 5-4 in the only meeting with the Panthers this year, with Forsberg scoring his first goal for the Flyers.

Much has been discussed about having no captain on the ice. Hitchcock wants Gagne to wear the C. Gagne has so far refused citing that Primeau is the captain. Gagne is not comfortable wearing it since it is really unknown when Primeau will be back. To me this shows how much character Gagne has and how much respect Gagne has for Primeau and the position.

Kapanen has set the November 30 game against the Devils as a target return date.
