CBC: 5 things to watch. Jeff examines tonight’s game and looks at 5 factors including a strong start, power play finish, Flyers captain flying high, Ladd’s lead and streak breaking.
Winnipeg Free Press: Flyers game to confirm if Jets have found keys to success. Nobody really knows what to expect when these two teams battle tonight. Will it be a low scoring or high flying affair? Personally I’m expecting a 5-4 type of game.
