Scott Laughton, Philadelphia Flyers
PHILADELPHIA -- Scott Laughton had a goal and an assist for the Philadelphia Flyers, who hung on for a 4-2 win against the New Jersey Devils at Wells Fargo Center on Monday. It was the 30-year-old forward’s first game back after missing three because of personal reasons.
Travel really hasn’t been that big of a deal either. In last week’s back-to-back, the Flyers played at the Rangers on Thursday and the Islanders on Friday. That’s only a 30-minute bus ride between venues and they lost both games by a combined score of 9-2.
Scott Laughton was back with the Flyers after being away for a personal family matter and Ryan Poehling returned to the ice in his recovery from a head injury.
Laughton is still on pace for his usual output this season, collecting 10 goals and 25 points in 48 appearances.
