*Another day another big test for Your Boys; this time they’ll be taking on the Tampa Bay Lightning who are, as you know, quite good. Before tonight’s game here’s a few takeaways from the last one. [Inquirer]
*No update on Jamie Drysdale as of the writing of these here links, but even if he’s hurt badly enough to be out for a while, patience is going to be key with this kid. [BSH]
*And if Drysdale’s hurt, the Flyers’ plans for the deadline should absolutely not change, not even a little bit. [BSH]
*The Flyers will need to play really, really well tonight to beat a team like the Bolts, but the fact is the Flyers are going to need to play really well from here out if the playoffs are the goal.
