Last 10 matches: Atlanta 5-3-2; Philadelphia 7-3-0.
Flyers defenseman Ryan Parent underwent back surgery Monday and is out six weeks. Defenseman Danny Syvret has a separated shoulder and is day-to-day. Thrashers defenseman Christoph Schubert will miss 2-4 weeks with a lower-body injury. Defenseman Mark Popovic has missed 25 games with a
foot injury and is day-to-day. Lehtonen is on conditioning assignment in the AHL. Fact: The Flyers are twice as good as they were in the first few weeks after Peter Laviolette. In the first 10 games, they averaged 1.8 goals per game, surrendered 3.4 goals and were 2-7-1. Since then, they are 11-4-1, have averaged 3.6 goals per game and surrendered 2.6 goals. The Thrashers were 0-for-13 on the power play before Maxim Afinogenov scored against Anaheim Tuesday. They’ve converted only once in their last 17 chances.
The Eastern Conference standings are so tightly packed that the Flyers are in sixth place with 55 points and the Thrashers are in 11th with 54
points, five places separated by one point. Both these teams hit bottom in December and have been playing better hockey this month. Thrashers star Ilya
Kovalchuk’s contract expires at the end of this season and no progress has been reported in talks between the team and his agent. A trade is a possibility, but it would likely reduce the Thrashers’ chances of making the playoffs.
Flyers center Jeff Carter has six goals in five games, while defenseman Chris Pronger has 12 points in the past 10 contests. Goalie Ray Emery is 3-2 with a 2.40 goals-against average and .916 save percentage since returning from December abdominal surgery. He has surrendered three goals in his past four games. Thrashers center Rich Peverley has five points in six games. Colby Armstrong has three points in four games. Summary of the match will be on site soon..
