The Philadelphia Flyers have some concerns heading into their playoff series with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Will Ilya Bryzgalov continue his stellar play in net? Will they get healthy quick enough? Can they minimize the defensive breakdowns?
Well, they got a bit of good news today when they found out that defensman Nicklas Grossman will be back for the start of the series.
“Grossmann said he is 100 percent. #Flyers,” tweets beat writer Sam Carchidi.
Grossman was an in-season trade who has helped a ton on the back end. Recently signed to a thee-year extension, Grossman blocks a lot of shots, which was a huge key when the Flyers made their run in 2010.
Can’t wait for Wednesday! Should be an awesome series regardless of whether you care about either of these teams.
