Dave Hakstol Makes A Very Interesting Healthy Scratch For Tonight.

"The Philadelphia Flyers have a chance to move back into third place in the Metropolitan Division tonight and head coach Dave Hakstol has made a very interesting decision. Hakstol has decided to make defenseman Robert Hagg a healthy scratch for the first time this season. The rookie defenseman will be replaced by Brandon Manning in the lineup tonight. Hagg had played with Radko Gudas since coming back from injury and Hakstol hasn't been impressed."It's not always about the individual," Hakstol said. "I thought with he and Gudie, there wasn't a ton of easy chemistry there, and we ended up in some situations … against speed, where we ended up with some bad gaps. The pair wasn't as effective as we needed it to be, so we're going to make a change. That's the time of year it is."What do you think of Hakstol's decision?These are the expected pairings for tonight's game:Ivan Provorov -- Shayne Gostisbehere
Travis Sanheim -- Andrew MacDonald
Brandon Manning -- Radko Gudas
