Fresh off of a crucial two wins over the Columbus Blue Jackets in the past week, the Philadelphia Flyers will go ahead and kick off a three-game homestand by playing host to the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets have also found success in recent games, winning their last three and taking care of business against lowly teams such as the Ottawa Senators and Los Angeles Kings. Philly will try to split the season series with Winnipeg after dropping their first meeting back in December, losing that contest by a lopsided score of 7-3.
One player who’s quietly put together some solid performances recently has been defenseman Travis Sanheim, making him a player to keep a set of eyes on this afternoon.
