Following Saturday’s brutal 6-1 demolishing at the hands of the Islanders, it felt like something had to give with this team in its current state. Today, it looks like the Flyers have decided what that something will be, at least for now, and it’s a series of personnel moves with the Phantoms.
First, a look at who’s gone. Mikhail Vorobyev played in Saturday’s game, marking the first time he’s played in two weeks after a series of healthy scratches. But after getting regular shifts in the first period, Hakstol effectively benched Vorobyev in the second and kept him out until the game was out of hand.
