Fantasy Analysis
Pavel Kubina was scratched from Game 1, but appears primed to serve as Philly's fifth defender at the very least for Friday. If Bourdon's minutes from Game 1 are any indicator, expect Kubina to see around ten minutes of ice time in Game 2. (Updated 04/13/2012).

Ilya Bryzgalov made 28 saves to record his second shutout in three games and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Florida Panthers 5-0 on Thursday for their fourth straight win.
The decline has begun. Kubina's days as a consistent 35-40-point, 90-110-PIM defender are behind him. He'll still get time on the second-unit power play but his already slow feet have lost a step and he's been forced to play a more conservative game. That's OK -- it'll help the team's younger defenders develop beside him. But it won't deliver fantasy owners more than 30 points and about 60 PIMs this season. Does that fit in your format?
