The homestand continues with a 4 point game.
Despite 2 dismal performances over the weekend, the Canes are still in the playoff hunt. They trail the Flyers by 1 point and the Isles and Jackets by 2. A win will see them jump over the Flyers but remain out of the playoffs on the tiebreaker with the Isles. And hot off the presses, here are the deck chairs on the Titanic...I mean the lines from the morning skate:
Aho/Staal/Teravainen
McGinn/Rask/Williams
Skinner/Lindholm/PDG
Nordstrom/Ryan/Stempniak
Slavin/Pesce
Dahlbeck/Faulk
Hanifin/TVR
Ward starts in goal. So the big changes are PDG and Dahlbeck are in, Kruger and Fleury are out. And Lindholm moves to 3C. Whoop-de-damn-doo.
The Flyers are 5-4-1 in their last 10 and are coming of an OT loss to Ottawa. Sean Couturier has 27 goals, tied for 3rd in the league. Jakob Voraceck leads the league in assists with 51, Claude Giroux has 43 assists, tied for 5th. Brian Elliott has started 37 games and carries a 2.77/.908 stat line. The Flyers have the 3rd best road PP at 24.4%, their road PK is 25th at 75.9%
