- It doesn’t appear defenseman Nick Seeler will be ready for the Philadelphia Flyers’ season opener tomorrow with Charlie O’Connor of PHLY Sports reporting he was the only member of the active roster not to practice today. Multiple outlets indicated that Seeler is dealing with a minor lower-body ailment and veteran defenseman Erik Johnson will play in his stead. Although the Flyers still have six healthy defensemen on the roster, expect a call-up tomorrow as the team starts their year on a Western Conference road trip.
