Questions to Answer

1. The Kings played yesterday in Washington and a few days ago in Pittsburgh. Rough stretch, do they look tired?
2. Laviolette is switching up the lines, mostly to get Mike Richards on the score sheet a bit. Does it work, and mostly, can that new line of Richards, Giroux and Carter light up the board frequently today?
3. Former Flyer Justin Williams is on a bit of a roll right now -- five points in three games. Does he pace the Kings offensively today?
4. Jonathan Quick also has not lost in regulation in five games. Can the Flyers beat him today?
5. Just like vs. Carolina, the Flyers have a streak going against the Kings. They're 9-0-1 in their last 10 vs. Los Angeles. Can that continue today?

Remember: 3 p.m. start. Go Flyers.
