It's going to be a bumpy ride tonight: An announcement has just been made concerning Nicolas Deslauriers and it promises to be

We have just learned that the Philadelphia Flyers have confirmed the return to play of tough guy Nicolas Deslauriers.

Head coach John Tortorella confirmed that the Quebecer would be in the starting lineup after missing a few games due to injury.

In 70 games this season, the Quebecer has accumulated five goals and 11 points, but what really stands out is his 111 penalty minutes, including 10 fights.

Philly's coach also confirmed that goaltender Carter Hart will face Cayden Primeau tonight.
