It’s a very, very small sample size, but so far the Nick Leddy era is a rousing success. After a 5-2 win over the Capitals on Tuesday night that bumped the Blues back up to second in the Central Division, the team can add some more insurance against the Flyers tonight.
Philadelphia dealt Claude Giroux to the Florida Panthers shortly before the trade deadline, leaving the team captainless and fans saddened at the end of an era. The Panthers are clearly stacked to make a run for the Stanley Cup. The Flyers are 20-32-11 and in a firm 7th place in the Metro.
