PHILADELPHIA -- WIP, the Flyers' flagship radio station, reported yesterday that Chris Pronger would not play tonight and, in fact, might need until Game Five to play in this series. The Philadelphia Daily News isn't going that far but the paper is also reporting this morning that Pronger is out tonight.
From the story: "Officially, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said Pronger would be a game-time decision tonight. Unfortunately for the Flyers, Pronger isn't going to go from no stickhandling and no shooting to ripping pucks from the point in the playoffs overnight."
The Flyers skate at 10:15. We'll see. Danny Syvret is expected to take Pronger's place on defense.
