The Flyers temporarily lost their presumptive #1 defenseman for the 2016-17 season at the end of training camp, when Michael Del Zotto suffered a left knee injury, putting him on the shelf for the first month of the season.
After 12 missed games, he is finally ready to go.
Per the beats at the morning skate in Montreal, Del Zotto skated with Shayne Gostisbehere and is expected to play tonight against the Canadiens. In order to make room for Del Zotto’s return, the Flyers moved Boyd Gordon from normal IR to long-term injured reserve.
