Flyers Make Highly-Anticipated Lineup Change

Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet has reunited forwards Porter Martone and Matvei Michkov alongside center Noah Cates ahead of the team's road game in Calgary. The decision reverses a recent change that saw Martone moved to the third line and Tyson Foerster shifted to the second unit, a setup that produced minimal offense during recent losses to the Minnesota Wild and New York Rangers.

Additional adjustments place leading scorer Trevor Zegras with Cole Knuble and Owen Tippett, while Foerster joins Christian Dvorak and Travis Konecny. Defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen traveled with the team but remains on injured reserve with an upper-body injury, and Michael Bunting and David Jiricek are expected to be healthy scratches for the struggling 4-10-4 Flyers.
