Flyers' defenseman Medvedev scratched for second game in a row

FOR THE second consecutive game, Evgeny Medvedev saw himself on the outside looking in at the six Flyers blue liners.

The Russian defenseman, however, didn't appear to be greatly affected by the development. He was his same jovial self walking into the locker room much later than the regulars after Tuesday's morning skate.

Medvedev, 33, returned to the Flyers' lineup for the first time Thursday after missing the previous five games. One of those games, the Flyers said Medvedev was a healthy scratch. On the team's flight from Vancouver to Edmonton earlier this month, Medvedev alerted the club that he wasn't feeling great.
