NEW YORK — Left winger Michael Raffl returned to the Flyers’ lineup Tuesday after missing six games with an apparent shoulder injury.
He replaced Scott Laughton, who has not scored in his last 20 games but played well and had several scoring chances in Sunday’s 4-3 overtime win over Boston.
Raffl, who went into the night with 11 goals and a plus-2 rating this season, played left wing on a line with center Jori Lehtera and right winger Matt Read.
“Raf’s been out for a couple weeks and he’s a real important player to our team,” coach Dave Hakstol said before the Flyers played the New York Islanders at the Barclays Center.
