Struggling winger Jordan Weal, getting a “fresh start,” will return to the Flyers lineup Saturday afternoon against visiting Boston, and barring an unforeseen development, speedy Danick Martel will remain with the AHL’s Phantoms.
Martel was impressive in his first two games after being recalled, but wasn’t a factor in limited minutes as the Flyers lost to San Jose, 3-1, on Tuesday and suffered their ninth straight defeat.
On Wednesday, Martel was sent to the Phantoms, who have two games before the Flyers meet the Bruins.
Weal, who has two goals in 20 games, was on a line with Nolan Patrick and Wayne Simmonds at Thursday’s practice in Voorhees.
