Questions to Answer
- Long memories. What do the Flyers do to Sean Avery today?
- Kris Versteeg looked a little lost against Carolina. With Mike Richards likely back today, can he look a bit more comfortable out there?
- As has been the case a lot lately, the Rangers need this game a lot more than the Flyers do. Can they match the intensity?
- Season sweep of the Rangers?
12:30 start. Go Flyers.
