Since then the Flyers are 17-4-2, and their 36 points are tied with the St. Louis Blues and Tampa Bay Lightning for most in the NHL in that span."I think we're playing better as a team," forward Sean Couturier said. "But I do know that we can't even think about putting him in a game until he's had a few practices and feels comfortable enough to say there's nothing that's going to lead to a setback."Gordon also said if Patrick can't play he would use a lineup with seven defensemen and 11 forwards, including Justin Bailey, who was recalled from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League.
