Bailey’s Daily: Flyers Get Seeler Back; Dougie Hamilton Injury Update

In Sunday’s edition of Bailey’s Daily, we’ll be talking the latest Philadelphia Flyers news, NHL news, stories, highlights, and more from the last day.

Flyers News

• “We sucked tonight,” said head coach John Tortorella after a brutal 5-1 loss in Saturday night’s Philadelphia Flyers game against the visiting Chicago Blackhawks. The loss marked their second loss in three days to a bottom-six team in the NHL.
• In the game, veteran Flyers forward Scott Laughton dropped the gloves with Chicago forward Ryan Donato in an effort to try and galvanize the troops.
• As for some better news, rugged defenseman Nick Seeler returned to the Flyers’ lineup on Saturday after missing 11 games with a lower-body injury, which he later revealed to be an ankle injury.
• Montreal defenseman Kaiden Guhle was suspended one game by the NHL’s Department of Player Safety for slashing Flyers forward Travis Konecny from the bench on Thursday.
• In case you missed it, after a “really difficult two years”, Flyers goalie Ivan Fedotov is ready to help the Orange and Black during their playoff push.

NHL News from National Hockey Now

• New Jersey Devils interim head coach Travis Green shared on Saturday that star defenseman Dougie Hamilton is not expected to return to action this season.
• After four goals against and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, the Colorado Avalanche yanked Alexandar Georgiev and mounted a comeback, defeating Nashville 7-4.
• Perhaps more surprising than Chicago’s win, the San Jose Sharks, led by Mackenzie Blackwood, shut out the playoff-hopeful St. Louis Blues, winning 4-0.
• The Boston Bruins were of no help to the Flyers on Saturday night, allowing Washington to pick up a point to advance in the standings.
• On the other hand, the Detroit Red Wings are within two points of the final wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference, with a game in hand, after earning a point against Florida.
