Flyers Give Exciting Update On Tough Guy

   

This Flyers forward is finally returning to the lineup.

Nicolas Deslauriers

The Philadelphia Flyers have announced that forward Nicolas Deslauriers will return to the lineup for their Feb. 4 contest against the Utah Hockey Club. 

Deslauriers, 33, has not played since Philadelphia's Nov. 9 matchup against the Florida Panthers due to an upper-body injury. However, the gritty forward has now been given the green light to return, which is great news.

Deslauriers has appeared in just seven games this season for the Flyers, where he had one assist, five penalty minutes, and 15 hits. This is after he had one goal, four points, 89 penalty minutes, and 188 hits with the Flyers this past season.

We will now need to wait and see how much of an impact Deslauriers makes in his return to the lineup from here.
