Riley Cote and Arron Asham will be in up front in place of Blair Betts and James van Riesmdyk.
And Ole-Kristian Tollefsen will make his Flyers debut on the blue line for Danny Syvret.
Tollefsen, who had a minor lower body injury at the start of the season, is looking forward to playing in his first game since February 7, 2009 when he was still with the Columbus Blue Jackets and suffered a season-ending knee injury.“It’s an honor being on this team,” said Tollefsen after the pregame skate at the Wachovia Center. “I knew it was going to take a little bit of time to get back into game shape, and I was ready for that.”
“He was a little bit banged up there and we wanted to get some practices under his belt,” said Stevens. “He’s worked hard, so we didn’t want to keep him out of the lineup too long. We wanted to get him back in here and get him playing.
”Tollefsen, who is known as a physical player, will be paired with Ryan Parent. The Penguins have some physical players of their own, so it should be a good test for the 6’2’’, 211-pound Norwegian.“I think that element with [Tollefsen] is always going to be there, we just wanted to make sure he had a good enough practice time to get himself ready to play.
