Flyers forward Oskar Lindblom has received tons of support from fans for quite some time now after he went through a battle with a rare type of cancer. On March 7 when fans attended a game at the Wells Fargo Center for the first time since the pandemic started, Oskar Lindblom received a much-deserved standing ovation from the crowd. It was his first game in front of fans at the Wells Fargo Center since beating cancer last year.
