(Preview 7:30 AM)
The last-place Flyers (14-15-1) have no time to bemoan their struggles of the last month. Tonight, the club begins another busy stretch of four games in six nights when it goes to Boston to take on the Bruins (16-9-6). Brian Boucher once again will get the call in goal.
It's no secret that the Flyers are mired in a massive scoring slump both at even strength and on the power play, and the club's penalty killing has become a major concern after being a strength early in the season. Scoring early and setting a more competitive tone could help instill some much-needed confidence in a dispirited team.
The Flyers will have Dan Carcillo back tonight now that his suspension is over. With Braydon Coburn hobbled by a sprained ankle, Ole-Kristian Tollefsen is likely to get back into the lineup as well.
STARTING LINEUP (subject to change)
Hartnell - Richards - Giroux
JVR - Carter - Briere
Laperriere - Pyorala - Asham
Carcillo - Kalinski - Nodl
Carle - Pronger
