The Columbus Blue Jackets travel to Philadelphia to take on a reeling Flyers organization that is going through changes from top to bottom. Last month general manager Ron Hextall was fired by the ownership group and former Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher was brought in. That huge change was pretty much the writing on the wall for head coach Dave Hakstol.
On Monday, Hakstol was removed from his duties as head coach for the Flyers and Scott Gordon was hired as interim head coach. Gordon was the head coach of the Flyers AHL team in Lehigh Valley.
