The Philadelphia Flyers face unexpected changes in their lineup tonight as Sean Couturier is taking a maintenance day following a sporadic practice yesterday where he was unable to finish, although he did play last night. Briere stated Coots is dealing with an injury at this time.
Additionally, Jamie Drysdale is expected to sit out due to an illness, according to Danny Briere.
The updated lineup features Sam Ersson starting, Staal in for Drysdale, and Brink stepping in for Couturier, who battled through last night's game after leaving morning skate early.
