Lehigh Valley has the chance to knock that number down to seven as it takes on the Bridgeport Sound Tigers tonight in Allentown. The Sound Tigers (21-29-5-1) are coming off a rough…
The Flyers have been snake-bitten in the goal column of late despite outplaying their opposition on an almost nightly basis. Thursday saw luck finally fall their way in a remarkably even match up with the Blues. St. Louis is among the top teams in the Western Conference by just about every measure, and the Flyers…
