Flyers Head to Pittsburgh Before Christmas

One more stop for the Flyers before they can take a nice, yet short, Christmas break. That stop is in Pittsburgh where they will take on the Penguins. Some things have changed since the last time that the Flyers played the Pens. For one, the Pens have a new coach in Michel Therrien who replaced Eddie Olczyk two games ago. For another Mario Lemieux has had another medical setback, this time with heart problems.
18 year-old Sidney Crosby has become the leader of the team in the wake of Mario Lemieux. Crosby though has been slowed recently by an ankle injury, although he is still second in rookie scoring to Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals. The Flyers can expect to face rookie goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury tonight in goal.
