For the first time for the Flyers all season — and for the first time since 2009 — Keith Yandle was a scratch in a hockey game. He sat to make room for newly-signed defenseman Ronnie Attard to make his NHL debut.
There was controversy all day about whether or not the Flyers made the right call to snap Yandle’s ironman streak at 989 games. I’m not here to debate it myself, though. I’m just here to recap what the first Yandle-less game this season for the Flyers looked like as they went up against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
