Radko Gudas News

Gudas exited Wednesday’s game after being hit by Brandon Saad and will not be in the lineup tonight in St. Louis. With Gudas out, the Flyers will dig deeper into the D-man pool, bringing Will O’Neill in to make his NHL debut. Consider Gudas as questionable for Saturday’s game.

Gudas left yesterday’s game in the first period after being hit by Blackhawks’ forward Brandon Saad. This is another big blow to the Flyers’ blueline that is already without Shayne Gostisbehere, Andrew MacDonald and Samuel Morin. Consider Gudas as doubtful for Thursday's game in St. Louis.

Gudas has had a mostly strong season, but has struggled recently, so he will sit tonight vs. the Canucks. Head coach Dave Hakstol said he is looking for more consistency out of Gudas. Nick Schultz will replace Gudas in the lineup.

Gudas is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Brandon Manning will be back in the Flyers’ lineup vs. the Sharks with Gudas sidelined.

Gudas has missed the last three games with an illness, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Oilers. Michael Del Zotto will come out as a healthy scratch. Gudas has one goal and six assists (seven points) in 19 games this season.

Gudas will be scratched from Saturday’s game vs. the Blackhawks because of an illness. Brandon Manning is expected to return from an injury to replace Gudas, who should be considered day-to-day.

Gudas’ six-game suspension is up and he will play tonight vs. the Sabres. Gudas is often among the league’s hits leaders, but doesn’t provide a whole lot in the way of offence—Gudas had 14 points (5G / 9A) in 76 games a season ago.

Gudas was suspended for six games after his shoulder-to-head hit on Bruins’ rookie Austin Czarnik on Saturday night. The Flyers’ will already be without Michael Del Zotto on the back-end, but it looks like Brandon Manning (shoulder) will be healthy enough to replace Gudas in the season opener.

Gudas will miss this week’s Friday-Saturday back-to-back and then next Tuesday’s game vs. the Islanders. He is eligible to play next Thursday in St. Louis. Expect Nick Schultz (upper-body) to play tomorrow if he is healthy.

Gudas missed 51 games a season ago after undergoing knee surgery and now 225 days after being acquired from Tampa Bay, Gudas will finally make his Flyers debut. Gudas is a rugged defenseman, who Flyers fans should love as long as he can stay in the lineup. He isn’t really known for his offence having registered just 32 points (7G / 25A) in 126 games in his career.

Gudas had been skating among the Flyers’ top six defensemen throughout the week, but he will be scratched in the opener and Luke Schenn will play.

Gudas, 24, is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery in early January. He has one more year on his deal with a 992K cap-hit. Gudas is extremely physical and possesses a heavy slap-shot from the point. He was second on the Lightning in hits (115) and fifth in blocked shots (63) despite playing on 31 games.

Gudas will likely miss the rest of the season after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his knee on Tuesday. This is a huge opportunity for Nikita Nesterov, who will stay on the roster with Gudas out.

Gudas will have an arthoscopic procedure performed on Tuesday and an exact timeline for Gudas’ return will be determined after surgery. Gudas was injured on December 29th vs. the Maple Leafs when he fell awkwardly into the boards. With Gudas out, Nikita Nesterov will stay with the club for the time being.

Gudas will miss his third consecutive game with an undisclosed injury. He remains day-to-day; his next chance to return is Tuesday in Montreal.
