Steve Zipay at Blue Notes reports..."Having shut out the Flyers twice this season and relieved Henrik Lundqvist in another win, Stephen Valiquette will be in the net tonight here at Wachovia Center.
And in another lineup change, this one forced by injury, Ryan Hollweg---after being scratched for eight games---will center the fourth line because Blair Betts was left back in New York for treatment of what coach Tom Renney described as a "foot issue", but is believed to be a problem with a toe bunion."
....figured we see Valiquette in goal tonight. His numbers against Philly this year (3-0, 0.32 GAA and .986 save percentage) are just too good to ignore.
...Betts' injury hurts us on two fronts tonight: 1) Hollweg is back in the lineup and 2) We're without our best penalty killer.
...would liked to have seen Prucha somehow inserted into the lineup ahead of Hollweg, but with Philly expected to come out very physical Hollweg is probably to the better option.
