The Blues come into town as the Flyers try to break a franchise record 13 game home winless streak. The Flyers won the last meeting between the teams 5-2 on Dec 17, 2005. The Flyers are coming off a 5-4 shutout lost to the Penguins on Thursday. The Blues are coming off a 1-0 win against the Red Wings on Thursday.

Mike Rathje and Robert Esche both out with injury for the Flyers.
For the Blues Christian Backman, Dan Hinote, Jay McKee, Vladmir Orszagh and Martin Rucinsky are listed as injured.

Michael Leighton who the Flyers picked up on waivers from the Predators back in January might be getting his first start as a Flyer’s goalie.

The Forsberg trade rumors continue along with ones for Calder, Kapanen, Sanderson, Hatcher and pretty much most of the rest of the team. 17 days left before the trade deadline.

For the first time since beating the Columbus Blue Jackets and former head coach Ken Hitchcock back in November the Flyers have finally won another game at home winning 4-3 in overtime.

Simon Gagne scored twice with Carter and Richards each adding a goal.
Michael Leighton did get his first start in goal as a Flyer and his first win stopping 25 of 28 shots. While he did look nervous
he did do a pretty good job and I think he would be fine serving as a backup to Niitty.

Gagne, Tkachuk and Carter were the 3 stars.

Think this is only the second game this year where the Flyers did not score first and came back to win.

Out of the 14 wins this year for the Flyers 5 have come against the western conference.

Simon Gagne was named 3rd star overall last night in the NHL.
