Road-challenged Flyers catch ailing Jets at right time

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- If the Philadelphia Flyers were to draw up an opponent as they continue their desperate hunt for a wild-card spot, the Winnipeg Jets would fit the bill.

Their hosts Tuesday night at the MTS Centre are hurting, to say the least, defensively. With Winnipeg regulars Toby Enstrom and Tyler Myers out for the foreseeable future, Jacob Trouba day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Paul Postma and Mark Stuart missing Monday's practice and Ben Chiarot practicing but hobbled, Jets fans could be forgiven if they thought a few Manitoba Moose defensemen showed up by mistake on Tuesday.
