Nelson back in lineup for Islanders; Poulin starts

PHILADELPHIA -- Looking for extra size down the middle, New York Islanders coach Jack Capuano has opted to put Brock Nelson back in the lineup.

The 6-foot-3, 196-pounder has played center and the wing, but is a natural center. He was a healthy scratch for the Islanders' 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday.

Smiling Flyers surging, more comfortable for Berube

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Flyers had a full and happy group on the ice Saturday morning as they got ready for their game against the visiting New York Islanders.

Winning five of six like the Flyers have generally puts a smile on people's faces.

"When you're winning it's definitely a better atmosphere," Flyers center Vincent Lecavalier said. "I think we're having a lot of fun out there. We're working hard but we're smiling. We're just playing. ... I think everything snowballs in a good way. When things go well you feel better out there individually and as a team."

Moncton's Barbashev to lead Russia at Super Series

Ivan Barbashev, a top prospect for the 2014 NHL Draft, was named to Russia's roster for the 2013 Subway Super Series games.

Russia will play six games across Canada -- two each against all-star teams from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, the Ontario Hockey League and the Western Hockey League.

The Super Series games are part of the decision-making process toward picking the team that will represent Russia at the 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship in Malmo, Sweden. That tournament runs from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5, 2014.

QMJHL fans certainly know about Barbashev, who plays for the Moncton Wildcats. A 6-foot-1, 185-pound left wing, Barbashev is tied for ninth in the QMJHL with 29 points in 20 games. His 19 assists lead Moncton and he also has 10 goals.

Perron returns for Oilers; Flyers shuffle lines

PHILADELPHIA -- The Edmonton Oilers will have forward David Perron back in the lineup Saturday when they play the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers again have shuffled their lines, with Matt Read and Brayden Schenn moving up to flank Claude Giroux on the top line, and Scott Hartnell and Wayne Simmonds joining Vincent Lecavalier on the second line.

Perreault back for Ducks, on line with Selanne

PHILADELPHIA -- Mathieu Perreault sat out the Anaheim Ducks' game Sunday against the Columbus Blue Jackets with a sore left wrist, but after going through a full practice for the second straight day Tuesday, he'll be back in the lineup Tuesday night when the Ducks face the Philadelphia Flyers.

Getting the chance to play on a line with Teemu Selanne certainly speeds up the healing process.

Perreault will center the Ducks' second line with Emerson Etem on the left side and Selanne, the likely Hall of Famer playing his final NHL season, on the right side.

"It's been great," Perreaut said. "Hall-of-Fame guy. He's been unreal to play with. So far for me it's been really good playing with him."
