Goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov made the trip to Detroit but won’t get the start according to head coach Peter Laviolette. The team has confirmed that Bryzgalov is completely healthy. However, Sergei Bobrovsky will start his third consecutive game Sunday night against the Red Wings (7:30 p.m).
Bobrovsky has given eight goals in those two games but did make some key saves against the Maple Leafs on Thursday.
It also appears that forward Jakub Voracek will be a game-time decision due to an unspecified upper-body injury. Courier-Post writer Randy Miller suggests that Voracek could’ve suffered a mild concussion in yesterday’s loss to the Rangers. The Flyers also recalled Eric Wellwood for tonight’s contest.
Wellwood has 9 goals and 11 assists in 31 games with the Adirondack Phantoms this season. He also registered an assist against the Blue Jackets in his only appearance with the Flyers this season.
