There will be an important absentee at tonight's game for the Flyers

The Flyers announced that Travis Konecny has an illness and will not be able to be in the lineup. Hayden Hodgson, who was going to be scratched, will take his spot.

It's a good news for him as he will have another chance to show his worth to Mike Yeo. He played well since his call-up from Lehigh Valley, registering 2 points in 4 games.

Also, Carter Hart will be the Flyers' starting goaltender.
