Flyers Star To Be Scratched By Team Canada

   

The 4 Nations Face-Off is officially here, as Team Canada is set to face off against Team Sweden on Feb. 12. Both teams have plenty of talent, so it should be a very entertaining matchup.

Philadelphia Flyers star Travis Konecny will be in the lineup for Canada on their fourth line with Tampa Bay Lightning forwards Brandon Hagel and Anthony Cirelli. 

However, Flyers fans won't get to watch defenseman Travis Sanheim in the tournament just yet. According to Sportsnet's Luke Fox, the Flyers blueliner and Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett will be Canada's healthy scratches for the game.
