The Philadelphia Flyers (26-32-12) are coming off an exciting playoff spoiler, beating the Panthers 6-3. Carter Hart made 41 saves with a .932 SV% to earn his 18th win of the season. The Flyers young core have showed up big recently, Farabee has 2 goals in his last 2 games after not scoring in 26 games. The Flyers young guns in the past 2 games played:
The Flyers after having yesterday off, will take on the Minnesota Wild (41-22-8) coming off a 2-1 win over the Devils on Tuesday. Flyers have been up and down in the league standings recently, but currently sit at 27th.
There are no changes to the Flyers lineup as of yesterday and this morning, Egor Zamula stays up with the team after a strong performance against the Panthers, putting up 2 assists. Brendan Lemieux is looking like a promising left winger, in 6 games with the Flyers he has 2 goals and 3 assists.
Key Players:
Philadelphia Flyers – I can’t stress enough how strong and promising the Flyers young core has looked recently. Players like Joel Farabee, Noah Cates, Egor Zamula, Owen Tippett and Morgan Frost. Have all stepped up with the unfortunate absence of Travis Konecny.
Minnesota Wild – Matt Boldy has been all over the Wild score sheet as of late with 5 goals and 3 assists in his last 5 games. In 2 season in the NHL, Matt is 9 points away from 100 career points.
