Flyers, Penguins prepare to battle the elements

PITTSBURGH - By the time the Flyers face the Pittsburgh Penguins at Heinz Field on Saturday night, the rain and sleet will have stopped and the temperatures will be in the 30s.

At least that's the forecast, which calls for the temperatures to dip into the 20s, with winds gusting as high as 28 miles an hour, and snow starting to fall sometime in the second period.

"At the end of a long shift, if the wind is in your face and you have to backcheck, it just adds a little bit extra to it," winger Brayden Schenn said.
