Vigneault shuffles his lines ahead of game in Carolina

On Tuesday, the Flyers suffered a tough 5-2 loss as they visited the Florida Panthers. This evening, they will look to bounce back in Carolina where they will face the Hurricanes.

Coach Alain Vigneault had enough after registering a third consecutive defeat and has decided to make drastic modifications to his lineup ahead of this evening's matchup, especially when it comes to his offensive line combinations.

The Giroux-Frost-Konecny trio was perhaps the only line that had a good performance on Tuesday and as such, it will be staying intact. Morgan Frost scored his first goal in his first NHL game against the Panthers and will undoubtedly be looking for more tonight.

James Van Riemsdyk will be demoted to the 4th offensive line, while Tyler Pitlick, Kevin Hayes and Joel Farabee form a new 3rd line. Jakub Voracek will be joining Oskar Lindblom and Sean Couturier on the first line.

Brian Elliott is set to get the start tonight. Carter Hart will be his backup after a few disappointing performances.

Here is the Flyers' projected lineup for this evening's match against the Hurricanes according to NHL.com correspondent Kurt Dusterberg:

Forwards:

Oskar Lindblom - Sean Couturier - Jakub Voracek

Claude Giroux - Morgan Frost - Travis Konecny

Joel Farabee - Kevin Hayes - Tyler Pitlick

James van Riemsdyk - Michael Raffl - Andy Andreoff

Defensemen:

Ivan Provorov - Matt Niskanen

Shayne Gostisbehere - Justin Braun

Travis Sanheim - Philippe Myers

Goaltenders:

Brian Elliott

Carter Hart

Chris Stewart and Robert Hagg are set to be the healthy scratches tonight. Meanwhile, Nolan Patrick and Scott Laughton are still recovering from injuries.

It won't be an easy win for the Flyers as the talented Hurricanes are looking to win a 5th consecutive game after going cold over the previous few weeks. That being said, it should certainly be a good one!
