Flyers defenseman Nick Schultz will return to the lineup Friday and will replace the suspended Rakdo Gudas in Friday's game in New Jersey.
Schultz was sidelined with an unspecified injury and missed Tuesday's 4-2 win in Ottawa.
In that game, Gudas made an illegal head hit on Ottawa's Mika Zibanejad and was subsequently suspended for three games.
Coach Dave Hakstol is juggling his pairings for Friday, getting a puck-mover and a stay-at-home defender in each duo. The pairings: Schultz and Evgeny Medvedev; Luke Schenn and Michael Del Zotto, and Shayne Gostisbehere and Brandon Manning.
Only the latter pairing is the same from recent games.
