Philadelphia Flyers News & Notes:

The Flyers are one and four in the last five games, dropping the last four straight. Philadelphia took their home matchup against the Blackhawks in OT 3-2 back in November. With the Blackhawks struggling, it’s a good opportunity for the Flyers to pick up a W.

Chicago Blackhawks News & Notes:

Yesterday, Pat Maroon announced his retirement from the NHL at the season’s end. Maroon’s retirement announcement will drown out a seven game losing streak for the Blackhawks that has sucked the air out of the room.
