Jaromir Jagr - W - Flyers

Jaromir Jagr took sole possession of first place in the NHL's all-time overtime goals list on Tuesday night.

He scored his 16th career marker to pull out of a tie with Mats Sundin, Sergei Federov, and Patrik Elias. Jagr has scored three goals in his last two games and now has 42 points in his comeback campaign.

Wayne Simmonds - W - Flyers

Wayne Simmonds has enjoyed a great month of February with 12 points in 10 games.

He kept his hottest stretch of the 2011-12 campaign going in Tuesday night's 4-3 overtime win over Winnipeg with a goal and an assist. Simmonds forced the contest into overtime, with his 22nd marker, with just 10 second left in regulation. The feisty winger can also help your team in hits and penalty minutes, so he's worth picking up for the stretch run.

Claude Giroux - C - Flyers

Claude Giroux scored a goal and added an assist in the Flyers' 5-4 overtime win over Winnipeg Tuesday.

In addition to the two points, Giroux directed a whopping 10 shots on goal while registering a plus-1 rating for the game. Scott Hartnell and Wayne Simmonds matched his effort with a goal and an assist of their own and Jaromir Jagr scored the overtime winner.

Ilya Bryzgalov - G - Flyers

Ilya Bryzgalov allowed four goals on 26 shots, but earned himself a win in the Flyers' 5-4 overtime win over Winnipeg Tuesday.

The game appeared to be doomed until a late Flyers goal sent it to overtime where a Jaromir Jagr marker propelled the team to victory. It wasn't the prettiest of outings for Bryzgalov, but his owners should be satisfied with the win.

Zac Rinaldo - C - Flyers

Zac Rinaldo returns to the Flyers lineup tonight at Winnipeg after serving a two-game suspension.

Rinaldo was suspended for taking a run at Detroit's Jonathan Ericsson on Feb. 12. He has played 43 games and is third in the NHL with 156 penalty minutes to go with 98 hits.

Ilya Bryzgalov - G - Flyers

While it was expected that Ilya Bryzgalov would start at Winnipeg tonight after taking a puck off his hand during the morning skate, the Flyers made the assignment official.

Earlier tweets from other sources indicated the hand was red, but there was never any indication Bryzgalov was not going to start this evening. In the Flyers last game on Saturday, the netminder was pulled in the second period after allowing a pair of quick short-handed goals among a total of three goals allowed on 13 shots in a 6-4 loss to Pittsburgh.

Ilya Bryzgalov - G - Flyers

Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov took a shot off his hand in practice, but should be good to go tonight at Winnipeg.

The Flyers start a four-game trip at Winnipeg tonight and find themselves in fifth in the Eastern Conference. Bryzgalov has had plenty of ups and downs this season and any note regarding anything he says or does on or off the ice comes under intense scrutiny.

Zac Rinaldo - C - Flyers

Zac Rinaldo has finished serving his two-game suspension and is eligible to return to Philadelphia's lineup on Tuesday night.

He dropped to third overall in the NHL's penalty minute race during his absence for charging Detroit defenseman Jonathan Ericsson on Feb. 12. Rinaldo has recorded seven points, 98 hits and 156 PIMs this year.

Pavel Kubina - D - Flyers

Pavel Kubina is interested in signing a contract extension with the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Flyers acquired Kubina from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. He is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. "If I play well for this team and they want me, I don’t want to go anywhere and test the water," Kubina said. "That is the way I am and hopefully it will go that way."

Tom Sestito (groin) has been placed on long-term injured reserve by the Flyers.

He is expected to have surgery to repair a torn groin muscle and be unavailable for six-to-eight weeks.

Marc-Andre Bourdon - D - Flyers

Marc-Andre Bourdon was returned to AHL Adirondack on Sunday by Philadelphia.

The Flyers have been busy shoring up their defense via trades before next week's deadline. The club acquired Pavel Kubina from Tampa Bay and Nicklas Grossman from Dallas, which prompted Bourdon's return to the minors. Bourdon has skated in 39 games with Philadelphia this campaign, while posting four points, 46 penalty minutes, 64 hits and 65 blocked shots.

Chris Pronger - D - Flyers

Chris Pronger might seek out former Philadelphia Flyers center Keith Primeau for advice as he struggles with his concussion issues.

Primeau's career was cut short by concussions, which appears to be the fear for Pronger, as well. It's hard to blame the big defenseman for taking such a track, although it's disturbing to think that it's gotten this far.

Daniel Briere - C - Flyers

Daniel Briere was able to play Saturday afternoon against the Penguins.

He left Thursday's game in the first period with an upper body injury but now seems to be OK after registering an assist in 17:28 of action against Pittsburgh including ice time on Philly's second power-play unit. Keep Briere active.

Pavel Kubina - D - Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired Pavel Kubina from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Jon Kalinski, a second round pick, and a fourth round draft pick.

In Kubina, the Flyers are getting a veteran blueliner who is responsible defensively and can eat up minutes. He won't come close to replacing the void left by Chris Pronger, but between him and the recently acquired Nicklas Grossman, Philadelphia's defensive corps is looking a lot better. Their goaltending is still a question mark, but the Flyers will be a dangerous team to play against in the playoffs.

Pavel Kubina - D - Flyers

The NHL still has to approve the trade, but it looks like the Tampa Bay Lightning have sent Pavel Kubina to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Tampa Bay had been preventing Kubina from playing until he was traded. We don't know what the Flyers gave up yet, but getting Kubina makes sense for them, given their defensive woes lately and the absence of Chris Pronger.
