Flyers
The rosters are in and the World Junior Championships, beginning on Monday with four games. Nine Flyers prospects will be participating in the tournament for their respective countries.
As the Flyers win streak came to an end, some weak spots have begun to appear. Could a grueling schedule and injuries be starting to take their toll on the Flyers?

The Flyers rallied back in the final two rounds of a shootout to defeat the Capitals, 3-2, on Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center.
The Flyers and Capitals meet again for the first time in the 2016-17 season on Wednesday night, with the Flyers looking to return to the win column after back-to-back losses. The opening face-off is set for 8 p.m.
At the time the NHL takes its annual break for the holidays on Saturday, it will have been six weeks since Michal Neuvirth suffered a lower-body injury that has sidelined him since. Prior to the Flyers game following the Nov. 12 injury, three goalies suddenly received an opportunity and they all had to run with it. So far, each one has.
In one of the more intense 1-1 games in team history, the Philadelphia Flyers would come back to tie the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Spectrum. The Flyers would salvage the tie and extend their streak of 28 games without a loss. That would tie the existing record, held by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1977-78 season.
The Flyers streak certainly showed what this team is capable of over a stretch of play, but there is a lot to take away from the first loss for the team since Nov. 25. Here are 10 Postgame Points from Flyers-Stars.
