Vigneault Announces Raffl's Replacement In The Lineup.

"The Philadelphia Flyers skated away with a victory after their first round robin game against the Boston Bruins. Now they'll wait and get warmed up for the Washington Capitals on Thursday night as they look for another victory which could help them land the top seed in the Western Conference. Unfortunately they'll be moving forward without forward Michael Raffl. While head coach Alain Vigneault wouldn't confirm where he'll play, AV confirmed that Joel Farabee will jump into the lineup. Vigneault said he might mix up some lines as he hasn't been impressed with James van Riemsdyk so far. Do you think Farabee is the right choice?

#Flyers HC Alain Vigneault said Joel Farabee will enter lineup for injured Michael Raffl. But, before you put JF on 4th line, AV said he is looking at making other lineup changes. One name that came up today was JVR, who AV said he expects more from. #FlyersTalk #AnytimeAnywhere
