Games Notes
Dan Vladar will be making his 5th consecutive start on Monday. It’s the next biggest game of the year for Philly. Win, and they’re in the playoffs.
If they fail to pick up two points on Monday, the Flyers could face elimination on Tuesday against the Canadiens.
The Hurricanes are resting 6 everyday players on Monday. It’s a really big help for the Flyers. However, it doesn’t mean they don’t have anything to play for. Any point in the next two games clinches the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
Since making the jump to the NHL, Porter Martone has 7 points in 7 games. All high pressure games at that. After morning skate, Martone told Philly Hockey Now he can draw from his high stakes game experience at MSU. Look for him to keep rolling.
Flyers excitement is at a recent high in Philadelphia. Expect a fun and loud environment in South Philadelphia for the biggest home game in a long, long time.
