Injury Buzz: Bryan Rust (illness) set to return to the lineup; Matt Grzelcyk to play after exiting loss to Rangers…….

Storylines: As bad as Joel Blomqvist was Sunday Afternoon, would tonight have been perfect opportunity to go right back to him to try to boost him up? Blomqvist since his recall has not looked right………Philadelphia (25-26-7, 57 pts) and Pittsburgh (23-27-9, 55 pts) are both 3-6-1 in their last 10 games……The Flyers, though, are eyeing their third straight win tonight, while Pittsburgh looks to avoid a fourth straight loss……… A regulation loss for the Penguins would see them fall to last place in the East via Points% at the 60 game mark……….

Lineup:
Rakell-Crosby-Rust
Heinen-Malkin-Beauvillier
Bunting-Hayes-Tomasino
Lizotte-Glass-Acciari
