UPDATE 4:00 PM

Brian Boucher is starting in goal tonight.





Mini-Preview 11:30 AM EST

Losers of three of their last four games, the Flyers (23-10-5) continue their road trip tonight with their fourth game in six nights. Tonight's game is arguably the toughest one on paper during the entire trip, as the Flyers must battle not only tired legs but also face the prospect of facing a Detroit Red Wings (24-9-5) club that they have not beaten on the road since 1988.

The Flyers have been horrendous defensively over their last four games -- including their win in LA -- and will need to show large-scale improvement to give themselves a chance to win.

I will post more game-day thoughts and lineups later today.
