Flyers vs. Senators, 1 p.m., CSN

Records
Flyers: 23-11-4 (Second in Atlantic Division, fourth in Eastern Conference)

Senators: 21-15-5 (Second in Northeast Division, fifth in the Eastern Conference)
Previous games
The Flyers bounced back from their Winter Classic loss to the Rangers with a 5-4 win at home over the Blackhawks.

The Senators have won four in a row and seven of nine. Their most recent win came at home to the Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-1.

Whos hot?
The Senators certainly are, as they will try to make it five wins in a row and eight in 10 games.

For the Flyers, Scott Hartnell is hot. His goal in Thursday's win over the Blackhawks tied him with Claude Giroux for the team lead, at 18.
Storylines
The last time the Flyers and Senators met was Oct. 18. Seven different Flyers scored in a 7-2 rout.

For the Flyers, it is a promising sign that James van Riemsdyk scored twice against the Blackhawks on Thursday. His second goal proved to be the game-winner. It has been a disappointing season thus far for van Riemsdyk, but a mid-season resurgence could make him an essential piece of a banged up Flyers offense.
Injuries
Flyers: Jaromir Jagr (groin strain, day-to-day), Chris Pronger (concussion, knee surgery), Blaire Betts (lower-body injury), Ian Laperriere (post-concussion syndrome).
Senators: Chris Phillips (concussion, day-to-day), Peter Regin (shoulder, IR), Jesse Winchester (concussion, IR).
