The Flyers hit the ice once again for a late morning practice and they were welcomed by the return of Jake, Jakub Voracek, Oskar Lindblom, and Scott Laughton. This Flyers team is getting healthy at the right time as they plan to become a consistent hockey team this season. Fortunately, Voracek has returned WILL play tomorrow against the Buffalo Sabres, as well as, Laughton and Lindblom. Somehow the Flyers currently sit in fourth place in the division with 21 points, and they have games in hand on the teams in front of them to include the New York Islanders (3 games), Washington Capitals (3 games), and the Boston Bruins (1 game).
Flyers fans can rejoice now with hearing about Lindblom participating in practice today. Fortunately, he is ok and is healthy, as he went through a lot last year with battling Cancer, and then Covid. Lindblom is healthy folks and ok. Here were the lines and pairings from practice today:
JvR-Couturier-Farabee
Giroux-Hayes-Patrick
Lindblom-Laughton-Voracek
Raffl-Bunnaman-NAK
Provorov-Gostisbehere
Sanheim-Braun
Hagg-Gustafsson
Prosser-Myers
PP1: Giroux, Voracek, Patrick, Ghost, Gustafsson
PP2: Hayes, Farabee, JvR, Couturier, Provorov
The reunion on the fourth line could wreak some havoc tomorrow. It’s great to see them back together again, as it has been a few weeks since we have seen this particular line pairing. Fortunately, the Flyers are getting healthy at the right time.
Vigneault joked, “I call them my COVID line,” he said of Laughton, Lindblom and Voracek. He also said Voracek never had any symptoms, and that Laughton and Lindblom will be on the trip to Buffalo. In addsition, Vigneault said Brian Elliott will start tomorrow, and Carter Hart would start Sunday.

My question is why was Myers paired with Prosser? If he sits in favor of Braun, Gus, Gost or Hagg, that’s a joke.
