Just four days ago, the Flyers fell victim to the Tampa Bay Lightning in Philadelphia in one of their worst performances of the season.
Redemption comes calling on Wednesday night, with the Flyers in Tampa to take on the Lightning.
The opening faceoff of Flyers-Lightning is set for 7:30 p.m.

For the fourth straight game, Steve Mason is the guy. Mason was excellent in goal on Tuesday, making a season-high 38 saves. The thought was that the heavy workload on Tuesday could open the door for Anthony Stolarz to make his NHL debut on Wednesday, but Dave Hakstol is rolling with Mason.
After completing a shutout over the Flyers on Saturday, Andrei Vasilevskiy is back between the pipes for the Lightning. The goalie has been excellent this season, posting a 1.43 GAA and .953 save percentage.
