Carter Hart was initially day to day with a mid body injury. He was further elaborated on the injury, and Hart was scheduled to start last night 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,” Hart said a few days ago. Hart unfortunately was scratched with an illness, but fortunately he is starting tonight against the Los Angeles Kings.
Fortunately, Hart’s injury wasn’t as bad as first thought. Flyers’ Head Coach John Tortorella confirmed he will start tonight. 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.
Victor Mete will also play in his first Flyers game tonight, a long with Ryan Poehling. Both Bobby Brink and Egor Zamula will sit tonight.
The lines tomorrow should look like this:
Foerster-Couturier-Atkinson
Tippett-Frost-Konecny
Farabee-Cates-Laughton
Deslaurier-Poehling-Hathaway
York-Sanheim
Seeler-Walker
Mete-Belpedio
Hart
