Questions to Answer

  1. It’s likely Brian Elliott in goal for STL tonight as they’re on the second leg of a back-to-back, but Elliott has been better than starter Jaroslav Halak so far this season. He was horrible against the Flyers as a member of the Senators last season though. What holds true this evening?
  2. Brayden Schenn had a rough first game on Thursday night, although certainly not all his fault. How’s he look this evening in game No. 2?
  3. The St. Louis power play has scored one goal in 25 chances this season, so uh, how’s that go tonight?
  4. Hey. Penalties. Stop?

Go Flyers.
