Breaking: Surprising change in the lineup for the Flyers

Radko Gudas is expected to make a comeback tomorrow against the Edmonton Oilers. He missed 3 games with the flu.  "Can't wait to get back in," Gudas said after Wednesday's practice.  "It was tough not being in there." Gudas skated with Mark Streit today during the morning skate.

With the rugged defenseman back in the lineup, who's going out of it? According to practicing line at the morning skate, Michael Del Zotto is the odd man out. Del Zotta played 22 minutes in the 3-2 win yesterday against the Panthers. He had a minus -1 rating, blocked 4 shots and had one shot on goal.

Since he got back in the lineup six games ago, the left-handed defenseman scored twice and added 2 assists. 

This decision comes as a surprise as Del Zotto was playing some decent hockey recently. On the other hand, Mark Streit is struggling with a minus -7 rating; the worst amongst the Flyers. The 38 year-old veteran is averaging less than 19 minutes per game recently and it still seems like too much to ask out of this power-play specialist.
