VOORHEES, N.J. u2015 Something has to change with the Flyers.
After looking bulletproof during their 10-game winning streak, the Flyers have quickly lost any ground they had made up in the standings and surely watched the gap between them and the non-playoff position teams shrink thanks to a five-game slide.
In an effort to shuffle things up, second-year head coach Dave Hakstol opted to rearrange his forwards. After all was said and done during Friday’s practice, the lines wound up unfolding like this:
- Michael Raffl - Claude Giroux - Matt Read
- Travis Konecny - Sean Couturier - Jake Voracek
- Nick Cousins - Brayden Schenn - Wayne Simmonds
- Chris VandeVelde - Pierre-Edouard Bellemare - Boyd Gordon
A few of those lines could flip again if Hakstol decides to throw Roman Lyubimov or Dale Weise in the lineup prior to Saturday’s game with Tampa Bay.
