Brian Elliott Injured
During the shootout last night, Flyers goalie Brian Elliott looked like he re-injured the same injury that he just returned from. Elliott, before the all-star break, was placed on IR for a lower-body injury.

Tonight, it seemed like Elliott re-injured the same injury that kept him out earlier this season.

The Flyers will more than likely recall Alex Lyon to man the back-up role until they find out what is wrong with Elliott.

 

First Trip To The Sin City
I guess there is a first time for everything.

Well, tonight the Flyers will make 2 first’s. They will play the Vegas Golden Knights for the 1st time in both teams history. And, it will be the Flyers 1st visit to Vegas.

Both are feats that many people would have never thought of before. However, Vegas has proved everybody wrong. But, this will be a playoff like game with over 1000 + Flyers fan clubs members in attendance.

This one will be fun to watch.
