Questions to Answer
- Michael Leighton’s first game since… you know. What’s the deal?
- Kimmo Timonen is playing, but you know he’s not 100 percent. Does he show his injury?
- Both teams were completely obliterated in their last games. Extra jump off the start?
- Defensively, the Flyers have been terrible across the board in the last two. Any improvement in that department?
