Raffl (abdomen) will return to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Islanders, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raffl has missed the Flyers' last eight games with an abdomen injury, but evidently won't be eased back into action Thursday, as he's expected to skate with Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds on Philadelphia's top line against the Isles. Savvy owners looking for sneaky value plays in daily contests may want to consider including Raffl in their lineups, as he should get plenty of ice time against an Islanders team that just gave up six goals to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
