The Flyers will host the struggling Minnesota Wild tonight at the Wells Fargo Center in the first of two straight home games.
The Wild are just 2-9-4 in their last 15 games played, including five of their last six. The Flyers, on the other hand, have won 5 of their last 6 games at home (5-1-0) and will look to continue their winning ways in front of the home crowd.
Head coach Peter Laviolette will start Ilya Bryzgalov tonight in goal, and told reporters this week that he would stick with Bryzgalov as his number one goaltender.
“I don’t use numbers, you know that. Bryz has gotten a majority of the starts. I don’t know if that answers your question or not…Bryz was brought here to be a horse, and he’s received a majority of the games. I don’t see that changing.”
Bryzgalov is 16-10-3 with a 3.07 goals-against average and .891 save percentage this season.
