Carter Hart & Ben Bishop are the projected goalies for tonight and for Hart it needs to be bounce back game after giving up 4 goals against Edmonton in only 1 1/2 periods of work. Through 4 starts he’s 2-1-1 with a SV% of .904.

Travis Konecny is off to a hot start with 7 points through the first 5 games and leads the team in points goals and assists. But if the team wants to get back on track Giroux needs to find the back of the net for the first time this season as he has yet to score.

This by no means a must win game but it is most definitely a game they should win the Stars are not playing well having only won 1 game through their first 9 as they are only 1-7-1. If i was a betting man I would bet on the Flyers to take this game easily tonight with my prediction being 5-2 Flyers win.

Bold predictions

  • Giroux has a 4 point night with 2 goals and 2 assists
  • TK stays hot and has a goal and an assist
  • JVR breaks into the goal column with a power play goal.

I’m fully expecting Nolan Patrick be back very soon as the flyers sent Bunnaman back to Leigh valley yesterday. Patrick also got some solo non contact work in with the coaches yesterday. Chris Stewart who was with the team on a try out contract is likely to get the start tonight as he was practicing with the fourth line yesterday as well.
