Knuble will be back in front of Montreal net
Mike Knuble will return Wednesday night to ice for the Philadelphia Flyers from a torn hamstring, however, speed will not likely be a factor, since Knuble never has been the fastest winger on the team. His strength comes as a big scoring forward who takes up space in front of the net and is hard to move or see around. And for that, his return is welcome.
"That will be great to have him back," forward Daniel Briere said. "We certainly could use him, a player like that with size and helping out with the power play, all that. He looks good out there."
Winger Scott Hartnell agreed: "He was skating hard and taking shots and doing one-on-one battles and he didn’t look out of place at all," Hartnell said. "He’s been a big part of our hockey club all season long and we’ve dearly missed him on the power plays, special teams, on the penalty kill. He does it all — he blocks shots and he gets to the net, and that’s a big part of our game, taking the goaltender’s eyes away."
