NOTES:
There's been more than a couple of mentions on Twitter and elsewhere of the Hawks' bad record in Philadelphia dating back several years. I'm not sure how much of a bellwether that is, but Chicago is 4-5-1 versus the Flyers in their last ten meetings.

The Flyers are relying on offense this year. Today's projected starter in net, Steve Mason is under .900 in save percentage.

Jonathan Toews has been placed on retroactive injured reserve. It appears his injury, now relatively confirmed to be to his back/core may take some time and rest to fully heal.

I'll recap later today or tomorrow.
