Tuesday's game at Wells Fargo Center will certainly have a different vibe. The waves of Ron Hextall's dismissal by the Flyers are still fresh. There's also the feeling that more changes could be coming after this game.
The Flyers have to somehow focus on that first and foremost. They will face the Ottawa Senators, another team that has gone through a share of changes over the last year.
Game time is at 7 p.m.

After entering in relief on Saturday, Anthony Stolarz made 33 saves on 35 shots, doing an admirable job in the final 47 minutes of a 6-0 loss. Stolarz gets rewarded with a start on Tuesday against Ottawa as a result.
Mike McKenna gets a rare start here. Craig Anderson took the loss on Monday and has handled the bulk of the work throughout the season for Ottawa.
