Saturday Morning Skate: One sleep ’til Tahoe

The Philadelphia Flyers traveled to Lake Tahoe after practice on Friday and we are just one day away from their game against the Boston Bruins.

The Flyers are coming off of a 3-2 shootout loss to the New York Rangers on Thursday night. Despite having a shorthanded lineup without several regulars, they were able to earn a point before heading to Lake Tahoe. Hopefully, they’ll be able to do the same and have an entertaining game on the national stage.

Welcome to the Morning Skate, Philly Hockey Now’s roundup of links from yesterday on this site as well other sites around the National Hockey Now network and hockey world!
