The Philadelphia Flyers (24-20-9) are back at home, where they will play three games before the Olympic break, starting with the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. EST.

Philly will look to get things back on track. Just three games after the Flyers snapped a six-game winless streak, they have started another skid, this time at three games. The Flyers are 1-3-1 in their last five, and 2-7-1 in the last 10.

It hasn’t been much sunnier in LA, as the Kings have hit their share of struggles. A three-game winning streak helped out the Kings’ record, which is 3-1-1 in the last five, but 4-3-3 over the last 10.

I won’t be covering today’s game in person, as I am in State College watching Porter Martone and Shane Vansaghi, playing today at Beaver Stadium. Pretty neat.

With that, here is everything you need to know before the game.

Game Notes

This is a huge game for the Flyers. All year, the narrative has been about how tight the Eastern Conference is, and anyone could find a way win. Well, the Flyers’ latest skid has them falling out of position as their postseason hopes slowly fade away.

Per Moneypuck.com, the Flyers have a 12% chance of making the playoffs. A win in regulation boosts their odds to 15.2%, while a loss worsens them to 8.2%. The word must-win may be extreme, but this is surely one the Flyers will not like to lose.

As for the lines, I think another game could help. Rick Tocchet shook things up before Thursday’s game. The new combinations did not look good, plain and simple. However, they did not even have a morning skate, let alone a practice with the new combos. Giving them a second look is warranted.

As for the defensive pairs, I would keep an eye on them. Emil Andrae has been in the press box after a string of poor performances, but Noah Juulsen has not been any better. Maybe Saturday is the day Andrae draws back into the lineup. If that’s the case, I would not be surprised to see the pairs revert to the norm.
