Will the Flyers get the good or the bad Radko Gudas when the rugged 27-year-old defenseman returns to the lineup Tuesday against Toronto at the Wells Fargo Center?
The good Gudas: A feisty player who delivers legal, crunching hits, clears the crease in front of his goalie, and provides veteran leadership for a young defense.
The bad Gudas: An undisciplined and reckless player — he just finished serving a 10-game suspension for slashing Winnipeg’s Mathieu Perreault across the back of his neck last month — whose penalties give opponents too many power-play chances.
The Flyers went 3-3-4 during Gudas’ suspension and allowed 3.
