Monday night will be an emotional one at Wells Fargo Center as the Philadelphia Flyers will honor late owner Ed Snider, who passed away last Monday, prior to Game 3 against the Washington Capitals.
With Snider's initials - E.M.S. (born Edward Malcolm) - already featuring on a commemorative patch on the Flyers' playoff jerseys, it was revealed Monday the initials will also be marked behind each net.

The team also placed a large banner outside the arena celebrating the man who owned the Flyers since they joined the NHL in 1967.
