The game: 7:00 p.m. EST, NBCSP, 97.5 The Fanatic
The Philadelphia Flyers get back to an actual hockey game tonight after a bizarre and somewhat baffling weekend that saw their coach suspended and fined and the team soundly trounced. Now with the Islanders closing in on the Flyers for playoff positioning and a blueline that continues to stay afloat with everything but the kitchen sink dressed, the Flyers look tonight to right the ship against the San Jose Sharks. Right now a glut of forwards and a dearth of defence means trying to get warm bodies on the back end while trying to find time for Bobby Brink and the newly acquired Denis Gurianov up front.
