The Flyers have played their last two games with a shorthanded lineup, down three regulars in Wednesday's game in Colorado and playing more than half of Saturday's game without five regulars in Minnesota. The devastating news regarding Oskar Lindblom's health hasn't helped matters either.
Following a 4-1 loss to Minnesota, the team's first set of back-to-back regulation losses since Oct. 27 and 29, the Flyers have to get right back on the ice on Sunday to finish up a three-game road trip. They take on the Winnipeg Jets.
Game time is at 5 p.m.

All forward lines except the fourth line have been shuffled. Joel Farabee moves up to the top line. Jake Voracek and Twarynski will play on the second line. Aube-Kubel slots in on the third line.
