Batten down the hatches, folks, cuz the Flyers might get blown away in this game. The Carolina Hurricanes are 8-2-0 in their last ten, and absolutely demolished the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-0 last weekend—a team that just beat the Flyers by a lopsided score of 5-2. There’s no way this ends well for Philadelphia, right?
The Flyers game against the Lightning also ended with Tony DeAngelo spearing Corey Perry in the nuts, which has resulted in a two game suspension for TDA—including this one. That probably means the Justin Braun at wing experiment will be over as he shifts back to defense.
