As the Philadelphia Flyers prepare to take on the Montreal Canadiens tonight at the Wells Fargo Center, the team announced some major lineup places taking place for tonight's game. Most importantly, Flyers fans will get their first look at newest defenseman Jamie Drysdale.
After the shock wore off and Jamie Drysdale hopped on a 5:00a.m. flight to Philly on Tuesday morning, Drysdale showed up eager and ready to go as he participated in Tuesday's practice and Wednesday's morning skate.
Drysdale was able to showcase his defensive prowess alongside his skating ability as he wowed the Philly media and looks to be a key piece to help the struggling powerplay. In practice Drysdale skated on the right defense alongside Travis Sanheim and is set to play on the power play right away.
It hasn't been announced how exactly Torts will move the lineup around, but Flyers fans will certainly get their first look at Drysdale tonight.
