The Philadelphia Flyers have placed Noah Cates on injured reserve due to a broken foot and have recalled Olle Lycksell from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. There is uncertainty about whether Lycksell will play during the team's three-game road trip. Additionally, Egor Zamula is expected to replace Marc Staal in the lineup for the game against the Coyotes, with Carter Hart in net.
Zamula in, Staal out, Hart in net tonight in Arizona
Per Torts, Zamula comes in for Staal tonight. Carter Hart in net.
John Tortorella on if Olle Lycksell will play on this road trip: "I'm not changing the lineup, but I have no idea what happens after tomorrow's game. If we get an injury to a Forward, he goes in, but I'm not force feeding by any means." #Flyers
John Tortorella said he does not plan to change up the forward lines, unless there is an injury. Meaning as I reported earlier, it’s very unlikely Olle Lycksell will be in the lineup tomorrow or at all over the next three games. Unless things go awry and changes are necessary.… https://t.co/hMCtk5bmvC
Olle Lycksell may have been called up this morning, but will he get into a game on this three-game road trip? I have the post-practice scoop from Tempe, Arizona: https://t.co/1WdEHGpgH4
There is a very strong chance Olle Lycksell will not pencil into the lineup tomorrow night. This season, Olle Lycksell leads the Phantoms in points (19), and in goals with 12, also racking up 7 assists in 21 games played. #PHIvsARI | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/sGHbwHAlsW
Flyers Lines Update: Sounds like Egor Zamula will slot into the lineup tomorrow night against the Coyotes, replacing Marc Staal. Lehigh Valley call-up, Olle Lycksell is at practice this morning but as an extra body. It’s unknown if he will play tomorrow. #LetsGoFlyers
