Mini-Preview: Flyers at Islanders
Featuring different lineups from the ones that met in Philadelphia on Monday night's preseason opener, Barry Trotz's New York Islanders (1-0-0) and Alain Vigneault's Philadelphia Flyers (0-1-0) will rematch on Tuesday night at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale.
On Monday night, at the Wells Fargo Center, the Islanders prevailed, 3-1.
Flyers head coach Alain Vigneault, who indicated on Sunday that the group that skated in the afternoon session on Day 3 of training camp -- minus Sean Couturier and Claude Giroux -- would comprise the lineup for Tuesday's game. Morgan Frost was originally slated to play on Monday, but is day-to-day with a minor groin issue. There is a chance he could appear on Tuesday, depending on how he is feeling.
Right winger Travis Konecny, who signed a six-year deal at a $5.5 million AAV on Monday afternoon, will report to training camp on Tuesday. He will skate with the group that played in Monday's game and is not traveling to New York. Wednesday is an off-day for all of the healthy players in camp, but Konecny will come to the Skate Zone that day for a video session.
Lineups for Tuesday's game will be posted for both teams when available. What is known is that Carter Hart will get the start in goal. Below are potential Flyers lines for Tuesday, based on Sunday's groupings, less Couturier, Giroux and Cal O'Reilly (who started in Frost's place on Monday).
82 Connor Bunnaman - 21 Scott Laughton - 12 Michael Raffl (Sunday combo)
81 Carsen Twarynski - 10 Andy Andreoff - 62 Nicolas Aube-Kubel (Sunday combo)
78 Matthew Strome - [replacement for O'Reilly] - 29 Kurtis Gabriel (Sunday combo)
72 David Kase skated on right wing with Couturier and Giroux on Sunday.
48 Morgan Frost (day-to-day, groin) is questionable for Tuesday.
9 Ivan Provorov - 15 Matt Niskanen (paired throughout camp)
8 Robert Hägg - 6 Travis Sanheim (paired on Sunday)
43 T.J. Brennan - 39 Nate Prosser (paired on Sunday)
26 Tyler Wotherspoon - 59 Mark Friedman (paired on Sunday; could be extras for Tue.)
Carter Hart (starter)
