It is weird to think that the Philadelphia Flyers have gone through their entire season up until now with a massive glaring hole on their blue line, but they have. Rasmus Ristolainen has been out with an injury dating all the way back until the end of last season and finally managed to return to the ice Tuesday night in Montreal as the Flyers took on the Canadiens.

The overall consensus has been that Ristolainen is a solid player but it’s not detrimental to have him in the lineup, like it is with someone like Travis Sanheim.
