After missing three games with the flu, rugged defenseman Radko Gudas will return to the Flyers' lineup Thursday against visiting Edmonton and Connor McDavid.
"Can't wait to get back in," Gudas said after Wednesday's practice in Voorhees. "It was tough not being in there."
Based on Wednesday's practice, Michael Del Zotto will be a healthy scratch to make room for Gudas.
Del Zotto had three hits and four blocked shots while playing 22 minutes, three seconds in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Florida. In six games since returning from a benching, he has two goals, two assists and a minus-1 rating.
