With forward Brayden Schenn and defenseman Radko Gudas each serving a suspension, the Philadelphia Flyers continue to evaluate players in their absence. Forward Matt Read, who has a goal and eight shots in two games, has been promoted to the third line. He'll play with center Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and right wing Dale Weise, who was acquired by Chicago at the 2016 NHL Trade Deadline but not re-signed. Rookie forward Roman Lyubimov, 24, will make his NHL debut after signing with the Flyers as a free agent. "[Lyubimov] is a guy who we've said all the way along deserves to get an opportunity to go into the lineup," coach Dave Hakstol said after the morning skate. "We just feel like this is a good opportunity for him to go in and get an opportunity in game time." Lyubimov played six seasons in the Kontinental Hockey League prior to signing with Philadelphia on July 11. Goalie Michal Neuvirth, who defeated the Blackhawks twice last season, will start. Neuvirth earned the win in the Flyers' season-opening 4-2 victory at the Los Angeles Kings on Friday, making 23 saves. This is the finale of a three-game road trip for the Flyers, who play their home opener against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday.
