Both the Flyers and Islanders give stick taps to Lindblom as he makes NHL return

Oskar is back, baby. 

Philadelphia Flyers forward Oskar Lindblom has officially made his return to the NHL this evening, suiting up in Game 6 of his team's second round playoff series against the New York Islanders. Less than nine months ago Lindblom wasn't sure if he'd ever play hockey again after being diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma. Today, Lindblom led his team onto the ice. Incredible.
