The Philadelphia Flyers defenseman returned to the lineup for just the second time since undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Unfortunately, it was due to an injury to Philippe Myers, who suffered a fractured patella on his right knee in Saturday night’s game.
Myers will likely miss the rest of the regular season with the injury, giving Gostisbehere a permanent spot in the lineup. He’ll be able to play with freedom and without any real thought of a healthy scratch coming his way.
While the Flyers saw their nine-game winning streak snapped at the hands of the Boston Bruins, it wasn’t a bad loss by any means.
