Flyers Look To Right Ship Against Sabres

Tonight the Flyers will host the Buffalo Sabres as they attempt to rebound from consecutive losses to both the Rangers and Red Wings.

After being sidelined the past three games with the flu, tonight Ilya Bryzgalov will get the start in net as he tries to continue his strong play and give this defense some much needed answers.  Over the past three games, Sergei Bobrovsky and the defense have surrendered a total of 12 goals.

The Flyers currently hold a 2-0 season series advantage over the Sabres.  Back on November 2nd, the Flyers beat the Sabres by a final of 3-2.  Most recently the Flyers again defeated the Sabres in a 5-4 overtime thriller on December 7th. Claude Giroux had the game winning break away goal in the extra session and hopefully he can have continued success against the Sabres tonight.

For the Flyers, they can't let things spiral out of control too much.  The Flyers need this win to help get them back on track, and also help them get ready for an important game coming up this Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Although the Flyers will have Bryzgalov back tonight, it looks like they will be without Jagr, Voracek, Meszaros, and JVR.  The Flyers will have to make do without them as they need any type of victory tonight in the worst way.
