The Philadelphia Flyers look to get back into the win column against the Bruins this afternoon in Boston. The Flyers lead the season series between the two teams 2-0 last beating the Bruins 5-3 in Boston on November.
Injuries for the Flyers include Eric Desjardins, Robert Esche, Simon Gagne, Joni Pitkanen, Keith Primeau and Turner Stevenson.
Injuries for the Bruins include Nick Boynton, Ian Moran and Jiri Slegr.
Gagne who missed the last game with the flu will be in the lineup.
I expect the Flyers to come out hard against the Bruins considering the browbeating Hitchcock gave them in the media.
Chris Therien needs one game to reach 741 as a Flyer, tying Bob Kelly and Rick MacLeish for fifth place on the Flyers All-Time List.
Mike Knuble has posted another blog entry. He talks about the Flyers visit to the Pentagon and that he doesn’t like to wear suits.
