December hasn’t had the type of cheer, glee, and welcome that the Philadelphia Flyers wanted after their blazing November. This month, the Flyers are 2-2 with their game against the Minnesota Wild scheduled to dictate the pace of their recent success. One player that needs to consistently contribute is Scott Laughton. He’s contributed during the wins this month but has been radio silent during the losses. Heading to Minnesota, Laughton could use that fire put under him from when Brady Tkachuk jumped him.
When Alain Vigneault sets the lineup heading into the game against the Minnesota Wild, Scott Laughton could play as high up as the second line.
