Tuesday Night NHL: Washington vs. Philadelphia
Tuesday Night NHL: Washington vs. PhiladelphiaThe Philadelphia Flyers are playing great hockey, but injuries may keep them from winning when they face off against Washington.
The latest odds on this hockey game and the NHL Throughout the regular season can be found at online sportsbook Bet Phoenix.

This is the second of four meetings between the teams this season. On Oct. 20, the Caps scored three times in a 2:25 span early in the third period to turn a 2-1 lead into a 5-1 advantage en route to a 5-2 victory in Philadelphia.

Giroux wasn't ruled out of Tuesday's game, but it's almost a certainty the Flyers will be without the League's leading scorer Tuesday.

When Giroux was hurt Saturday, rookie Sean Couturier went into Giroux's spot between Jaromir Jagr and Scott Hartnell. He was there Monday at practice, and likely will be there to start Tuesday's game.

Couturier, the eighth pick of the 2011 Entry Draft, has played mostly on the fourth line, and while he doesn't have a point in 14 games, he's played a major role in the Flyers' penalty killing, unit, which ranks 17th in the League but has allowed one power-play or fewer in seven of the last eight games.

Defenseman Mike Green visited a specialist Monday, presumably to find an answer to the right groin muscle injury that has kept him out for the last 14 games.

Coach Dale Hunter wouldn't give specifics, but said Green likely will rejoin the team for its upcoming road trip, which starts Thursday in Winnipeg.

It was thought Green was close to a return earlier this month, but he hasn't skated since Dec. 8, and told reporters that day there was no timetable for his return.

Green has missed 20 of the last 21 games with an ankle injury and now the groin strain. This injury list is getting bigger and it may be the only way that the Flyers stop winning when they go up against Washington.
