## Resource

Porter Martone is HERE! Ashlyn Sullivan, Jordan Hall and Clayton Dyer the rookie’s NHL debut in the Flyers’ frustrating loss to the Capitals on Tuesday night. Plus, our latest Dump or Chase brings us questions on how much of a difference maker Owen Tippett can be, whether Rick Tocchet made a mistake taking Matvei Michkov off the top power play unit and whether or not Martone’s performance is more important than making the playoffs. Finally, the crew previews a massive pair of games against the Detroit Red Wings and New York Islanders that will have huge playoff implications on the latest episode of the Flyers Talk podcast.
