The Philadelphia Flyers have been hit with some good and bad fortune lately.
On the positive note, players like Sam Gagner and R.J. Umberger have stepped up considerably, especially considering their performances last year, and have helped the team to a 3-2-1 record in the early season.
On the negative side, injuries have already abounded for the team. Brayden Schenn missed last night’s game, Sean Couturier and Michal Neuvirth left the game due to upper-body injuries and Umberger has already missed two games due to injury.
But should the team become healthy over the next few days, Umberger and Gagner need to be in the lineup.
