David Elfin was on the case at Flyers practice today (they were going at the same time as the Caps only across the river in Voorhees at their practice facility). Kimmo Timonen will likely play tomorrow after leaving last night's game with an "upper body" injury, although he was clearly favoring his shoulder/arm after Brooks Laich shoved him into the net. Also, Jaroslav Modry's father has passed away, but he is not sure when he will leave the team.
David is writing about Vinny Prospal for tomorrow's paper. The Flyers picked up Prospal from Tampa Bay just before the trade deadline in a somewhat under-the-radar move, but he's been dynamite against the Caps so far. Prospal and his linemates Danny Briere and Scott Hartnell have combined for 14 points are a collective plus-11. Compare that to the Caps' top trio of Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Viktor Kozlov (four points, minus-6) and there is one of, if not the biggest reason the Flyers are in control.
