*Back at it again against the Penguins tonight, and wouldn’t it be great to do it all over again just like on Tuesday, but at their house? Good times. Here’s Charlie’s thoughts on the last game before we get to this one. [PHLY]
*Big part of that win Tuesday was the Foerster-Cates-Brink line, which continues to be John Tortorella’s most reliable threesome. [Inquirer]
*Jamie Drysdale also had a heck of a game, and Torts would like to see him do even more. Which is nice to hear. [BSH]
*So that’s two games now post-break in which the Flyers completely dominated their opponent. Was the rest all they needed? Is this them coming into form? [BSH]
*It’s possible that the Rasmus Ristolainen trade rumors are cooling way, way off. [The Athletic]
*John Tortorella’s presser yesterday afternoon certainly made it seem like he’s really keen on keeping his biggest defenseman. [BSH]
*The Scott Laughton rumors, though? Those might be heating up. [BSH]
*If some roster spots do open up after the deadline, there are some prospects we might be able to get a look at before the season is over. [BSH]
*And finally, what we all want next Friday for Deadline Day is big huge fireworks. DGB runs through the reasons why every team in the league should make a big move. And also why they ultimately won’t. [The Athletic]
