Add Michael Del Zotto’s name to the injured list. The Flyers announced on Friday afternoon that the defenseman will miss four to five weeks with an undisclosed lower body injury. That’s just a crushing blow to the team’s defense. Del Zotto missed the stretch run of the 2015-16 season, plus the playoffs, with a wrist…
The Philadelphia Flyers are back home on Tuesday night, and with it they’ll have a new top line. Wayne Simmonds, Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek will be together on the first unit against the Montreal Canadiens tonight as coach Dave Hakstol hopes to shake up the league’s second-worst offense. Doing so means taking Voracek away…

*Yesterday’s President’s Day/Family Day holiday meant we got a 4 p.m. start time and it was pretty great. Being finished with the Flyers before 7 o’clock? GLORIOUS. Also glorious? Sam Ersson.
