In addition, Rasmus Ristolainen is also sidelined with a minor upper-body injury. The Flyers are making lineup adjustments, with Olle Lycksell skating on a line with Laughton and Hathaway, and Sam Ersson starting in goal. Paul Cotter is ruled out with an illness, leading to lineup changes for the team.
Paul Cotter has been ruled out tonight with an illness. Sheldon Rempal is playing on the third line with Karlsson and Brisson. Amadio is jumping up with Stone and Stephenson, where Cotter played vs Arizona.

If I'm John Tortorella. I give Tyson Foerster the night off, give him an extra day of recovery, and come back strong for practice on Wednesday. The Flyers do not play again until Thursday night, so it gives him 2-3 extra days of rest. Olle Lycksell is still up with the club
