The Flyers have been battling the injury bug as of late, coupled with Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier having Visa issues. So who’s in, and who’s out for tonight’s game against a very tough Washington Capitals team?
Owen Tippett and Ryan Poehling are day to day with upper body injuries.
Rasmus Ristolainen and Egor Zamula are also day to day with upper body injuries.
Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier will not play again tonight. They are both stuck in Toronto, with Kuzmenko’s visa paperwork finally ironed out. Unfortunately, their flights from Toronto have been cancelled, due to weather.
“They’re in Toronto. I think the paperwork on Kuzy is done, but the flight was cancelled. They will not play tonight,” Flyers’ Head Coach John Tortorella said today at morning skate.
Tortorella continued, “Kuzmenko’s paperwork is done. Pelts isn’t, but we flew them to Toronto to get here faster.”
Nic Deslauriers is in once again for the orange and black, with Ivan Fedotov getting the start between the pipes.
Jacob Gaucher, Rodrigo Abols, and Emil Andrae are all still on the roster, and will play.
