After a 4-1 loss to Montreal on Thursday, a few players noted that a letdown is usually possible after an emotional win. Head coach Alain Vigneault wasn't buying it. Vigneault stated that every game is worth the same two points and that the team needs to be ready to go and execute.
The Flyers next game comes against another team outside of playoff position. The Los Angeles Kings come to town on Saturday night and it is a game the Flyers certainly feel the need to come away with a better result.
Game time is 7 p.m.

Brian Elliott was excellent in St. Louis, making 30 saves in the overtime win. Elliott is likely going to get at least the next two starts as the Flyers await the return of Carter Hart from injury. Elliott is looking for redemption from his last start against the Kings, where he allowed four goals on 15 shots through two periods.
Jack Campbell gets the start for the Kings against the Flyers. Campbell suffered a defeat in his last game, allowing four goals on 26 shots to the Panthers. His last win came on Jan. 9 against Vegas, where he stopped 44 of 46 shots. He has lost six of his last nine starts and and allowed three goals or more in five of them.
