MINI-PREVIEW (10:30 AM)

Fresh off victories against the Maple Leafs and Penguins, the Flyers need to continue racking up the points tonight when they face off with the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Wachovia Center. This is the third of four games between the teams. The Flyers won the first two matches.

One trend to track tonight: Vincent LeCavalier looked lost the first two times the clubs played and was struggling through a horrendous season. Of late, though, he finally seems to be recovering his game. He has 13 points in 10 games. Meanwhile, longtime Flyer-killer Martin St. Louis has 11 points in the past eight games.

The Flyers offense has been hit-or-miss all season but has been rolling the last two games. Overall, the club has scored 17 goals in their past three games, including the otherwise horrible game in Ottawa that saw the club rally in the second period.

Tampa got an unexpected rest last night, as their game against the Devils was postponed due to a power failure.
