Rain is expected Saturday morning and afternoon, and the ice conditions may not be the best when the Flyers face the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins later that night in the NHL's Stadium Series at Heinz Field.
"It comes down to limiting your mistakes," Flyers winger Matt Read said Thursday after practice at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. "If the ice is bad and the puck bounces around, you just have to make sure you get pucks deep and live to fight another day out there. If it's choppy and bouncy, it won't be so much a skill game but a hardworking-and-looking-for-the lucky bounce" game.
