The final preseason game. The Philadelphia Flyers take on the Minnesota Wild tonight at the Wachovia Center. There isn’t much to say about a game like this. Most of the roster is complete, and the personnel we see tonight is very similar to what we will see when real action stats on Friday night in Carolina.

Ole-Kristian Tollefsen could also see time for the Flyers. Ray Emery and Johan Backlund will split the duties between the pipes.

7 PM puck drop. I’ll be at the game, so follow @BroadStHockey on Twitter for some updates from the rink. In the Philly area, watch live on the Flyers website. Elsewhere, you’re out of luck. the WIP guys are covering the webcast, so there’s no radio broadcast tonight. As always, though, join the discussion right here. Go Flyers.

PS – I’ll be on Blueshirt Banter Radio tonight at around 7:30. Listen here.
