Status Report
Vincent Raddysh is expected to miss the next two games due to a personal matter. He will be replaced by Jonny Brodzinski for this matchup. Additionally, Brendan Brisson, recalled from the American Hockey League, is unlikely to make an appearance.
Defenseman Urho Vaakanainen will return to the lineup after being a healthy scratch for five games, taking Vincent Iorio’s place. On the Flyers’ side, forwards Travis Konecny and Nick Seeler participated in an optional morning skate and will be game-time decisions. Konecny appears to have a better chance of playing than Seeler.
