Brandon Manning returning to Flyers lineup against physical Wild

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Flyers will try to end a four-game road losing streak when they face the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night.

Defenseman Brandon Manning, who sat out the last five games with a shoulder injury, will return to the lineup and be paired with Radko Gudas. Michael Del Zotto will be a healthy scratch despite having a goal and two assists over the last three games.

Coach Dave Hakstol said he wanted Manning and Gudas together to combat Minnesota’s physical play down low.

Nick Schultz, a defenseman who spent 10 years in Minnesota, will face his former team.
