MINI-PREVIEW (6:45 AM)

In order to win their sixth playoff game in a row and grab a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference Finals series with the Montreal Canadiens, the Flyers need to do exactly what they did on Sunday. On that night, the club put the emotion of the previous game behind them and showed up prepared to turn in 60 minutes of hard-nosed but patient hockey.

It's unlikely that the Flyers will be able to blow out the Canadiens again tonight, so it's crucial that the club show a similar degree of patience to the first period of Game 1. It is the Habs that will need to make adjustments and find ways to generate speed through the neutral zone and create operating space for Michael Cammalleri and Brian Gionta.

Today's Daily Drop at Versus.com takes a look at the adjustment challenges faced by the trailing clubs in both the East and West series.
