Coach Maurcie: Status of Wheeler? David Gustafsson being loaned to Team Sweden. Did he like what he saw from practice and will they be able to put Thursday in the rearview mirror? The look of the second power play unit. What are the Flyers biggest strengths? On Gustafsson learning to use less minutes. Team having more fun.
