Carter Hart was initially day to day with a mid body injury. Today he further elaborated on the injury, and better yet he will start tomorrow against the Anaheim Ducks, “I feel ready to go. Body feels a lot better. I was trying to get up, he fell on the lower half of my back. Couldn’t really move for a few days, but I feel a lot better now.”
Fortunately, Hart’s injury isn’t as bad as first thought. Flyers’ Head Coach John Tortorella confirmed he would be the starter tomorrow. Either way, the Flyers didn’t rush his return and allowed him to get 100% healthy, regardless of how long it takes for him to return to action. The Flyers are in the midst of a rebuild, so rushing him back does the organization and player no good.
The lines tomorrow should look like this:
Foerster-Couturier-Atkinson
Tippett-Frost-Konecny
Farabee-Cates-Brink
Deslaurier-Laughton-Hathaway
York-Sanheim
Seeler-Walker
Zamula-Belpedio
Hart
John Tortorella also said he wants to see more from Morgan Frost ‘s offensive game. Tortorella said he likes how Frost is playing defensively, but he would like to see more from the offensive side of the puck. He did elaborate from the question of last game on whether it was hard to bench Frost. Tortorella said it’s hard to bench him, as he has played well defensively.
