ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Flyers hope a change in their power-play units and the addition of a player making his NHL debut, right winger Nic Aube-Kubel, will help them end a three-game losing streak Tuesday in Anaheim.

Jake Voracek and Wayne Simmonds will move from the first to the second power-play unit, and Nolan Patrick and Travis Konecny will be promoted from the second to the top unit.

The Flyers' power play is in a 1-for-20 funk over the last seven games, and overall they are tied for 23rd in the 31-team league, converting on 15 percent of their chances.
