The Flyers have been a disaster over the past month and a half, but this is their opportunity to get back into the playoff race. They trail the Bruins by 4 points and the Bruins have 2 games in hand. If Philly has anything left for a push, I think it starts tonight so the Bruins have to be ready.

DeBrusk was taken off the Covid list yesterday. We'll see if he plays tonight. Not sure how they'll split the goalies. My guess is Vladar tonight at home then Halak tomorrow, unless Rask is a possibility.

Looks like DeBrusk is back in, Bjork is coming out. Lauzon in for Tinordi. Vladar in net, Swayman backing up. I missed the final 2 periods on Saturday, did Halak get hurt?

Marchand - Bergeron - Smith
Ritchie - Krejci - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Coyle - Senyshyn
Frederic - Kuraly - Kuhlman

Grzelyck - McAvoy
Lauzon - Clifton
Zboril - Kampfer

Vladar
Swayman

Vladar
Swayman
He got knocked over behind the net before the 4th or 5th Pittsburgh goal, but he stayed in.

If Rask is healthy do you look to move Halak at the deadline? (Ducks)
I say no only because the deadline is 7 days away and they aren't going to really know if Rask is healthy within that time frame.

I do think Vladar is for real though.

.917 in 73 AHL appearances.

He's likely good but goalies are weird and projecting their future is almost impossible.

Bruins have been credited with 0 high danger chances so far in this game.
Does that typically get adjusted after the game, or as the game goes on? There haven't been many, but there have been more than zero. The Smith chance that hit Eliiot's helmet and then hit the post comes to mind.

Occasionally, but not dramatically.

The McAvoy post in the first period is the closest one I can think of.
