The Flyers displayed considerable grit and tenacity over the last three games. The team has done a much better job overall of taking care of the puck and initiating physical play rather than getting caught in retaliatory penalties. Even so, they find themselves on the brink of elimination heading into tonight's game.

Any time a team repeatedly fails to click on the power play, there's room for adjustment. The key to beating Fleury - or any goaltender- is to get screens, deflections and rebounds. That all starts with getting shots through from the point, rather than getting those shots blocked or sent wide of the net.
