Flyers Host League's Best As Tampa Comes To Town.

"The Philadelphia Flyers have a huge test ahead of them tonight as the Tampa Bay Lightning come to town. Tampa has put together an incredible season as they sit on top of the league with 94 points and have won six games in a row. The Flyers will look to bring it to the Lightning as they're currently one of the hottest teams in the league looking for their 13th win in 15 games. Goalie Brian Elliott was called up on Tuesday and will backup Carter Hart on Tuesday. If the Flyers are looking to make the playoffs, a win tonight would really help as they sit just six points behind the Montreal Canadiens for the final Wild Card spot. ""Huge measuring stick. They've won [six] in a row, most points in the League, probably the best offense in the League, one of the best goalies in the League. Lot of things for us to measure ourselves up against."" mentioned head coach Scott Gordon.
The Flyers might catch a small break as Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman has been listed as questionable. Here's a look at tonight's projected lineups:Flyers projected lineup
