Hakstol also told reporters that he expects Raffl to be ready for the Flyers' Oct. 8 regular season opener. The 26-year-old winger registered 28 points (21 goals, seven assists) in 67 games with Philadelphia last season, and will likely return to a top-six role with the team in 2015-16.

With a marker in Saturday's loss to the Sharks, Raffl has scored a goal in three straight games and four of his last five contests. Raffl has certainly made the most of his opportunity to skate next to Jakub Voracek and Claude Giroux, and figures to be deployed on the top line for the remainder of the season. With 20 goals in his 61 games, Raffl has more than doubled his total (nine) in the category from 2013-14.

Raffl scored a shorthanded goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Devils. Raffl has been on an impressive scoring streak, picking up points (including three goals) in his last five games. The 26-year-old has also suffered through cold spells throughout the season, so he's at just 22 points -- matching last season's total -- in 52 games.

Raffl scored his 14th goal of the season and added an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Rangers. Raffl broke a six-game drought, one of many such pointless streaks he's endured this season. His inconsistency makes him a liability in all but the deepest leagues.

Raffl (illness) participated in Thursday's practice, Frank Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.Though he took part in line rushes with the Flyers during the session, Raffl will not be a lineup option for Friday's game against the Blue Jackets, as the team wants to give him more time to recover from the bout with pneumonia. The Flyers initially projected Raffl to miss the entirety of their current four-game road swing, but if the winger continues to progress well in practices the next couple of days, he could be an option for the final game of the trip Sunday in Buffalo.
