Ever hear the phrase, Beef…it’s whats for dinner? Well, folks…Plenty of beef in the line-up tonight. Paul Gaustad and Andrew Peters return for the Sabres in what is probably the biggest game to date.
Coach Lindy Ruff is pulling out the stops, and knows how important this one is. The Flyers come in 3 points ahead of the Sabres, who obviously can close the gap to 1 with a win.

Philly is clearly no shrinking violet by any means. They have big bodies Riley Cote and Aaron Asham who are more than likely to clash with the blue and gold tonight.

Notes:

Miller and Biron square off once again, always a nice subplot to the battle between these two long time rivals.

Patrick Kaleta will be a healthy scratch this evening, and Nathan Gerbe is back in Portland.
