If I told you that the Kings are favored to win over the Flyers tonight you would probably agree with me. The Kings are after all the defending Stanley Cup champions, and they've only lost a single game in regulation this season on their way to an impressive 6-1-1 record. Here are two things that might change your mind: Ray Emery: According to Tim Panaccio Ray Emery has played six career games against the L.A. Kings, and in those six games he has a 1.70 GAA and a .947 save percentage. Emery will be making his third straight start tonight for the Flyers and has played like a #1 goalie in his 4 starts this year, Anze Kopitar: According to Chris Johnston Anze Kopitar, arguably the Kings best player, will be sitting out due to injury tonight. Now on it's own this is pretty big for the Flyers but it gets even better, the Kings will be one player short tonight because of the injury and the teams salary cap issues preventing them from calling up a forward from their farm team.  If the Flyers play the Kings hard you can expect being a man short to have a significant impact on the Kings. What do you think  Flyers fans? Have I convinced you? Are the Flyers going to pick up yet another win with Emery between the pipes tonight? Lets us know your thoughts in the comments below.
