Flyers come back home to face the Montreal Canadiens.
The Canadiens lead the season series 2 games to 1 beating the Flyers 4-2 on December 21. The Flyers are coming off a horrible showing against the Capitals in Washington losing 6-2 on Tuesday. The Canadiens are coming off a 4-2 win against the Atlanta Thrashers on Tuesday.
Injuries for the Flyers include Mike Rathje, Denis Gauthier, Mike Richards and Geoff Sanderson.
Forsberg will be back, but I am not sure how long he will last.
The Flyers will be honoring Eric Desjardins tonight at the game. Fitting I think since he played for both Flyers and Canadiens.
Desjardins talks to the media about his career in the NHL.

The ceremony honoring Eric Desjardins was nice and it was great that Center Ice carried CSN which showed the activities. But besides that the game was the typical Flyers game we have seen this year.
Jeff Carter and Joni Pitkanen scored for the FLyers. Pitkanen’s goal was his first of the season, hopefully that will get him started.
Forsberg played decent his first game back.
Antero Niittymaki was average in goal, not a lot jump in the Flyers game business as usual.
