High-scoring winger Jake Voracek appears ready to return to the Flyers lineup Saturday afternoon against Pittsburgh, and his addition should bolster a lineup that excelled without him.
"It's huge for us," defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere said after Friday's practice in Voorhees. "He's a staple of our team, and just to see how good we did without him is pretty much amazing. Just can't wait to see how much better we are with him."
Coach Dave Hakstol said it would be a game-time decision on whether Voracek plays. Based on Friday's practice, however, Voracek will be at right wing on the third line, alongside Nick Cousins and Matt Read.
