As fans wonder about his return, it remains to be seen whether he will play today, but he is likely to return tomorrow night.
Cates' earliest projected return was January 10, and with today being the 12th, there's a chance he could return tomorrow night, adding an interesting dynamic to the team's lineup.
The Flyers now find themselves in a position where they have to navigate two players potentially coming out of the lineup to accommodate Cates' return. The prospect of major changes is looming, and fans are eager to see how the team will adapt to this shift in the roster.
As the Flyers prepare for the upcoming games, all eyes will be on the coaching decisions regarding the lineup, and the return of Noah Cates could bring a fresh energy to the team.
