Coach Rick Tocchet has confirmed that the Flyers will have lineup changes. Nikita Grebenkin returns after being sidelined since November 15, while Noah Juulsen has not participated since November 20. On the other hand, Panthers’ coach Paul Maurice will keep the lineup the same as in their recent 8-3 victory against the Nashville Predators, with Sergei Bobrovsky starting in goal.
