Voracek Comments On Return To Philly Tonight.

The Philadelphia Flyers host the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight at Wells Fargo and there's two main storylines. The Flyers will be looking to avoid what's feeling like another frequent 10 game losing streak as well as welcoming back Jakub Voracek back to town. It'll be Voracek's first game back in Philly since the offseason trade that saw the Flyers bring in Cam Atkinson. Voracek's return almost didn't happen as he's been in COVID protocol and literally just cleared at 11PM last night and hoped on a plane and got to Philly around 9AM. "It was a pretty good flight, smooth flight and just excited for the nap now.""I was here by 9 o'clock or something. I turned right into the Flyers locker room and went to say hi to the boys. I think it's the least thing I can do and I didn't get kicked out so that was good."He's still not sure how to feel and feels it'll hit him closer to puck drop. "I don't have many thoughts as of now," he said of his return. "I think everything is going to build up before the puck drop, but obviously it's going to be weird to play against my friends. But I've done that in the past. When I got traded from Columbus, it was the same thing for me when we played Columbus in 2011. We'll see how the fans are going to react, but it's always good to be back in Philly, that's for sure."
Voracek has 25 points in 34 games so far this season in Columbus, unfortunately only one of those points has been a goal.Atkinson has 15 goals and 14 assists in 39 games for the Flyers for a total of 29 points.
