In Wednesday’s edition of Bailey’s Daily, we’ll be talking the latest Philadelphia Flyers news, NHL news, stories, highlights, and more from the last day.

Flyers News

• How about that for a Philadelphia Flyers game, and a statement win at that? The Orange and Black bounced back with a huge win against the Toronto Maple Leafs, buoyed by a complete effort we’re more accustomed to seeing by now.
• Come for the Flyers game, stay for the Nick Deslauriers fight and takedown of Maple Leafs tough guy Ryan Reaves, who did not return to the game after the tilt.
• Flyers head coach John Tortorella took a huge gamble by scratching captain Sean Couturier, but will the early payoff last in the long run?
• Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear; a surprise team is chasing the Flyers in the race to the postseason after a sudden surge in form.
• Flyers icon and cult hero Wayne Simmonds retired from the NHL on Monday; what were his greatest moments in Philadelphia?

NHL News from National Hockey Now

• With another win, the New Jersey Devils still have an outside chance of making the playoffs; Jake Allen is their only chance of making that a reality.
• New York Islanders coach Patrick Roy isn’t happy with the play of star goaltender Ilya Sorokin as the team stumbles to a fifth straight loss, all but dashing their postseason aspirations.
• In the Western Conference, the Nashville Predators are rocking and rolling after smashing the San Jose Sharks 8-2 on Tuesday night.
• We all know how good Sidney Crosby is, but if he keeps playing at his current pace, he’ll join Wayne Gretzky as the only other player in NHL history to produce at a point-per-game or better in 19 seasons.
• Ok, the Chicago Blackhawks lost again, but Connor Bedard managed to tie one of Jonathan Toews’ rookie records in the process, if you can believe it.
