For the third time in six games, rookie defenseman Travis Sanheim will be out of the Flyers’ lineup.

In Tuesday’s game against visiting Florida, the Flyers will use the same lines and pairings that produced an 8-2 rout of Washington on Saturday.

The only change: Michal Neuvirth will replace Brian Elliott in net.

Sanheim, 21, is sitting out for the second straight game, but he is taking the benchings in stride.

“We have seven good ‘D’ right now, and obviously there’s going to be a guy sitting, and it happened to be me the other night,” he said, referring to the win over the Capitals.
