Philadelphia Flyers News
With Cedric Paquette landing on IR on Wednesday, Poehling will centre the fourth line vs. the Flames. Poehling has scored three goals with three assists (six points) in seven AHL games this season.
Ellis was expected to be back in the lineup on Wednesday, but apparently, his injury is lingering. Not being available for Wednesday's game in Edmonton, certainly makes him questionable for Thursday as well.
Ellis was missing from Friday's practice and is expected to miss Saturday's game vs. the Panthers. With Ellis out, look for Justin Braun to skate on the top pair with Ivan Provorov.
Ristolainen missed the first two games of the season with an upper-body injury but will play Wednesday vs. the Bruins. Look for Ristolainen to skate on the second pairing with Travis Sanheim in his debut.
Ristolaien was on the ice for Sunday's practice but will remain out of the lineup on Monday. Nick Seeler will play in Ristolainen's spot again. Consider Ristolainen day-to-day and expect him to make his debut later this week.
Ristolainen was acquired from the Sabres this offseason but his Flyers debut will have to wait, as he's sidelined by an upper-body injury. With Ristolainen sidelined, Nick Seeler will skate on the third pairing next to Keith Yandle.
