Center Brayden Schenn will return to the Philadelphia Flyers' lineup tonight against Anaheim, wearing a clear, protective boot over his skate. Schenn missed 14 games with a broken foot. Hiscustom molded boot will try and minimize the impact of a shot or slash against his foot, which remains fractured. He is still looking for his first NHL goal. For some players, the boot is a hindrance to their skating and turning. The Flyers' players regularly add them onto their skates in practice for drills (like the penalty kill) that involve shots in harms way, but players rarely wear them during a game. "Everyone skates differently," Schenn said. "For me, I just tell myself that I have to wear one. I've got to keep my foot protected. I can't let the puck [get close]. To be honest, it's fitted to my skate and I can't even tell. There's so light, you can barely tell."
