FLYERS pre-game notes 3/16/08 vs PIT
Posted 11:37 AM ET | Comments 1
Kukkonen fans rejoice.... Lasse will be in the line-up today... Obviously Hatch not in the line-up after going off early yesterday in Boston... He is having an MRI done today and I should have an update sometime in the 3rd period.
Marty Biron will start today... surprising move considering his record in the back end of consecutive days played (0-4 4.66 goals against and an 896 SV%) and the Pens haven't played since trouncing Buffalo Wednesday night so they are fresh.
Crosby will miss today's game but Hossa is back in the line-up as well as Talbot... Not that Pit missed Sid much last time the Flyers were in the Steel City as the Malkin/Sykora combination more than made up for his absence. Malkin had a hand in all 4 Penguins goals and Sykora was involved in 3 of them. Malkin has 15 goals in the 22 games Crosby has missed this season.
Fluery between the pipes for Pittsburgh... 10-4 lifetime with a 2.83 goals against which is better than Conklin's numbers against the Flyers (that last game on Feb 10 was his first win vs. the Flyers)
UPDATE:
Upshall, Downie, Boulerice, and Tolpeko are healthy scratches...
Obviously Hatcher and Jones scratched as well
