The Bruins will look to put Saturday's overtime loss to the Capitals behind them when they take the ice tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers at the TD Banknorth Garden. Last time these two teams met, the Flyers won 4-3 in overtime on floater from the pointer by Randy Jones that deflected in off of Andrew Ference.

Injury Report
Notes:
- Manny Fernandez was the first goalie off the ice for the morning skate. He will likely be the starter for the B's tonight.
- Matt Hunwick skated as the left wing on the Savard/Kessel line again during the morning skate.
- Milan Lucic (upper body) skated during morning skate but was not with his usual linemates (Savard & Kessel), but instead working with the injured Petteri Nokelainen and Providence call-up Martins Karsums.
- Could this be someone's last game in Black & Gold? If so, who?
- The Bruins need to take advantage of their power play opportunities. The Flyers lead the league in PIMs, so the B's will probably get a few chances with the man advantage.
- Danny Briere is back in the lineup for the Flyers after missing significant time with a groin injury.
