Monday Morning Skate: A pair of prospects shine

The Philadelphia Flyers are scheduled to practice later today for the first time since last week. The team has been in limbo since Travis Sanheim was added to the NHL’s COVID Protocol list last Sunday. Sanheim was removed from the list yesterday, but another name was added.

Welcome to the Morning Skate, Philly Hockey Now’s roundup of links from yesterday on this site as well other sites around the National Hockey Now network and hockey world!
