Ryan Poehling, a player for the Philadelphia Flyers, was unable to play in a game due to illness. As a result, Olle Lycksell replaced him in the lineup. This change was confirmed by the team and observed during warm-ups. The Flyers adjusted their lineup accordingly, with Scott Laughton also being double-shifted during the game. Carter Hart and Marc Staal were among the players who were included in the lineup changes.

Carter Hart starts in net tonight . They're going with 7 D, so Marc Staal comes in. Olle Lycksell out. Poehling is still sick.
Scott Laughton being double shifted early in the game, playing on the fourth line as well. Looks like Tortorella will pick and choose when Olle Lycksell will play throughout the game and double-shift down the middle. #PHIvsARI | #LetsGoFlyers
First shift of the 4th line has Laughton with Hathaway and Deslauriers. So perhaps rather than use him as 4C, they're just going to sprinkle Lycksell throughout the game and double-shift someone like Laughton instead.
Flyers announce Olle Lycksell will play tonight for Ryan Poehling, who is out with an illness.
Confirmed by Flyers, Ryan Poehling is out tonight due to illness. Olle Lycksell draws in.
Flyers Lines Update: Olle Lycksell in, Ryan Poehling out. #PHIvsARI | #LetsGoFlyers
Looks like Olle Lycksell will make his season debut tonight, as Ryan Poehling did not take part in line rushes during warm-ups He was centering Deslauriers and Hathaway
Ryan Poehling is indeed a scratch for tonight's game. https://t.co/zwr8PHd9uy
I don't see Ryan Poehling on the ice at all. Perhaps a late tweak or illness, because this morning, Tortorella confirmed that the only lineup change would be Zamula in for Marc Staal. We'll see when the final lineup is locked in, but sure looks like Lycksell is playing.
Ryan Poehling isn't taking line rushes with the fourth line. Olle Lycksell appears to be centering the 4th line, in between Garnet Hathaway and Nicolas Deslauriers. Interesting.
