Flyers-Lightning: Game 22 Preview

Carter Hart gets the start for the Flyers on Sunday. Hart has played well this season despite the record, and will certainly be looking for a better outing than his last against the Lightning.  

Brian Elliott gets the start for the Lightning. It is just his fifth game this season, and he has allowed three goals or more in each game. Will he get the best of his former team, or will the Flyers use the opportunity to get some scoring touch back?  

Projected Lineups

Flyers Scratches: Ryan Ellis (injury), Joel Farabee (injury), Derick Brassard (injury), Nate Thompson (injury)

• Flyers: Patrick Brown was activated from injured reserve and comes back in the lineup in place of the injured Joel Farabee. No other changes are expected.
• Lightning: Erik Cernak missed the third period of Saturday's game in Boston, so he could be out once again. The Lightning are not expected to have any other changes.
