As the preseason progresses, the lineups start to inevitably shift more toward regular players who will be in the lineup on a nightly basis in the regular season. As the Flyers take the ice for their second home preseason game on Wednesday night, several of the regulars will get their first look.
This game also marks the halfway point of the preseason for the Flyers. For their opponent, the Washington Capitals, it is just the second preseason game and offers another opportunity to look at more young players. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m.
Here is the Flyers roster for the game:
- Forwards

There are no extras listed in this lineup for the Flyers, so all players will play.
