Flyers to miss several key players for Sunday's outdoor clash against Boston
When the Philadelphia Flyers take to the ice on Sunday for the Honda NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe, it will be without a good chunk of their top-six forward group, and a vital piece to their defence.
Flyers head coach Alain Vigneault announced on Thursday that the team will be without the services of forwards Claude Giroux, Travis Konecny, Jakub Voracek, Oskar Lindblom, Scott Laughton, as well as defenceman Justin Braun for Sunday's game at Edgewood Resort in Lake Tahoe because the players remain on the NHL's COVID-19 list.
On Thursday, the depleted Flyers played their first game since February 7th, and came away with a much needed point in a 3-2 shootout loss to the New York Rangers.
The NHL announced that Sunday's game will begin an hour earlier than previously scheduled (now 11am PT) for the players' safety due to the forecast showing sunlight with no cloud cover.
