HockeyFeed
The Flyers are 13th in the East and according to a fancy Thanskgiving stats, they only have 22% chance of making the playoffs. It's easy to spot the Flyers' weakness as they're the worst team in the NHL for goal against with 75 in 22 games. Dave Hasktol even benched his all-star defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere but the problem is much deeper than one player.
With only 3 wins in their last 11 games, one could expect the Flyers to mix their lineup and shake things up and here it is:
Scott Laughton is an healthy scratch again. Laughton played the last two games for the Flyers, cumulating 4 shots and averaging 10 minutes.
Michael Del Zotto is back in the lineup. He'll step in for Brandon Manning who's been a reliable D-man so far.
Anthony Stolarz will make his NHL debut!
