Apparently, Dave Hakstol will be making some changes to his forward lines in an effort to shake things up tonight:
Anthony Stolarz will start in net tonight in Vancouver. Lehtera and Weal also in. Varone and Lindblom come out.

Awesome. Extremely good. We don’t know what the lines will look like in light of this news; the below ones are a guess. Also, Anthony Stolarz will apparently start in his ninth straight game, after the Flyers tweeted out (and later deleted) that Alex Lyon would get the start tonight. Never a dull moment with this team.
Projected Flyers lineup:
Forwards
van Riemsdyk – Giroux – Konecny
Simmonds – Couturier – Voracek
Weal – Patrick – Raffl
Lehtera – Laughton – Weise
Defensemen
Provorov – Gostisbehere
Hagg – MacDonald
Sanheim – Gudas
Goalies
Stolarz
(Lyon)
Projected Canucks lineup (via):
Forwards
Goldobin – Horvat – Virtanen
Leivo – Pettersson – Boeser
Roussel – Gaudette – Eriksson
Granlund – Beagle – Motte
Defensemen
Edler – Tanev
Hutton – Gudbranson
Pouliot – Stecher
Goalies
Markstrom
