Michael Raffl will be back in the Flyers' lineup on Wednesday after spending six straight contests as a healthy scratch.

He has an assist in 11 games this season.

Michael Raffl was a healthy scratch on Friday. Raffl had missed two games earlier in the week as he was battling the flu but was healthy enough to play on Friday. Coach Craig Berube went with the same lineup that won both games but with the Flyers losing 3-2 in a shootout, do not be surprised to see Raffl back in the lineup this weekend. He has only one assist in 11 games so we obviously cannot recommend him in any fantasy pool unless you have to take someone who played in the Swedish Second Division at some point in their career.

Michael Raffl's assist on Saturday was the first point of his NHL career. Raffl was moved to the top line this week alongside Vincent Lecavalier and Claude Grioux so he is definitely worth looking at in deeper pools. The Austrian was undrafted as an 18-year-old but has some grit to his game.

Michael Raffl has been bumped up to the Flyers' top line. Raffl is projected to play alongside Vincent Lecavalier and Claude Giroux. Normally we'd say this is a big opportunity for Raffl, and it is, but it also might be a very short one. The Flyers are 1-7-0 with an a horribly struggling offense, so if the trio don't show chemistry out of the gate then this now combination might not even survive until the end of Thursday's contest.

After excelling in the Swedish second division last season, it makes sense for him to make the transition in the minors.
