Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Andrew MacDonald will miss Wednesday’s pivotal game against the Detroit Red Wings, due to a head injury picked up Sunday against the Penguins. It was an awkward play that was not penalized, nor will there be any supplemental discipline. Either way, MacDonald is out and listed as day-to-day.
This means that, for at least one day, Evgeni Medvedev will come back into the Flyers lineup. Medvedev has mostly been watching from the press box recently. He has only played one game since March 3, and he wasn’t a part of the Flyers recent surge.
