BOSTON — After sitting our four games to spend time on conditioning, defenseman Andrew MacDonald was back in the Flyers' lineup Thursday in Boston.
In retrospect, McDonald said, he rushed back too soon from an unspecified injury. He missed most of training camp, but was deemed ready at the start of the season and played in the first five games and was mostly ineffective.
He spent the last week working out in the gym, getting his legs stronger, and feeling as if he was ready for the long haul.
"I was able to get some really good lifts in the gym, which I wasn't able to do through camp and through the start of the year because of games and practices," he said.
