A familiar face returns for the Flyers’ biggest game of the season (so far).
PHLY Sports’ Charlie O’Connor reports from Flyers morning skate in anticipation of tonight’s huge Metropolitan Division clash with the New York Islanders, a game with serious playoff implications. New goalie arrival Ivan Fedotov will NOT be in net for the team, but defenseman Jamie Drysdale will make his return after a near five-week absence.
And it looks like head coach John Tortorella is going with a veteran-heavy lineup, bringing Cam Atkinson and Nicolas Deslauriers back in while putting struggling forward Sean Couturier back on a scoring line and on the power play.

Solid analysis. 👍 Thanks
Drysdale and Seeler good pair for next year
And I hope for this year
#89 drawing back in. "Oh good, the police." Although I don't have any issue with Brink getting a seat, I still don't quite understand his NHL upside. And Farabee has earned a lesser role. I'm starting to think both he and TK aren't 100% of late, given their play.
Yes couts in front of the net urgent to score
TK definitely hurting. I think he has a wrist injury. Playing alot of one handed hockey lately
Great way to get experience in big games is to be in press box gotta love it
You trade for Gurianov so that he at least gives you an element on you bench you didn't possess in case you need it. But instead they just KEEP shoving Atkinson down our throats. He adds nothing. The only reason he isn't in the AHL right now is because he's besties with the coach. It's a disgrace.
There is no argument anyone can make for playing him ever.
Its just the principle of blocking a prospect from playing in an important game with a net negative 35 year old replacement. Like what are we doing. These repeated anti rebuild ticks the coach keeps hitting is making my head explode.
At least Lycksell and Gurianov add speed, or shooting ability, or…literally anything. But no we're stuck with "veteran presence" who "won't make mistakes" pffffft
Throw Fedotov in, what's the worst that can happen??..They lose???
The time is now, they can't afford to lose tonight.
I WANT TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS.
Can’t wait to watch Atkinson lose every puck battle and be a second or two off on every puck😂
brink should be in lineup cam sucks
All hands on deck lets win tonight guys🏑!
I hope they will give the new goaltender some games to see what he can give us.
