at
Columbus Blue Jackets (24-20-7, 55 points, 7th Metro, 14th East)
Notes
Big roster shakeup as Denton Mateychuk AND Miles Wood will both return tonight. To make room, yesterday Zach Aston-Reese and Brendan Gaunce were placed on waivers. If they clear by noon today, they will be assigned to Cleveland.
Elvis Merzlikins will start in net, as he was slated to do on Monday before that game was postponed.
The Flyers recently had a 6 game losing streak, but have points in 3 of their last 4 games, including big road regulation wins over Vegas and Colorado.
