The Flyers are have Claude Giroux and Jordan Weal back in the lineup as veterans. Radko Gudas makes his preseason debut on the blue line. Brian Elliott will also get the start in goal.
Additionally, there is the usual healthy dose of prospects in the lineup for a preseason road game. Carsen Twarynski plays again after playing in Tuesday's game. Mikhail Vorobyev, Nicolas Aube-Kubel, German Rubtsov and Phil Myers are all back in the lineup.
Carter Hart is also serving as backup goalie and is expected to play a portion of the game.
