Flyers boast near complete NHL lineup in preseason tuneup against Bruins

In their second to last preseason game, the Flyers will send a nearly complete NHL roster to Boston to take on the Bruins.

Philadelphia will use this game as their dress rehearsal for the regular season. While some rookies and younger prospects are in the lineup, the vast majority of the roster is the team that will head into the regular season.

John Tortorella has already confirmed that Thursday's game will consist of AHL-level players and rookies. The case will be the same for the New Jersey Devils, who will have most of their NHL team gearing up for their season opener in Europe.

Skating with the NHL squad today will be Jett Luchanko, playing in what could be his final game before being sent back to Guelph. This has been a positive showing for him and he's still around in camp for a reason. He isn't busting down the door, but he's held his own. If there was an open spot on the roster, there's a chance he could've stayed.

Aside from Luchanko, roster hopeful Anthony Richard will be in the lineup. He has had a solid preseason as well and could make the team. However, it appears Olle Lycksell has the inside track on being one of the team's extra forwards. Richard does have NHL experience before this season and has more than held his own.

Elliot Desnoyers and Jacob Gaucher have gotten the call from the AHL training camp for this one. Hunter McDonald and Oliver Bonk will also get another shot. Tortorella talked about what they have seen from Bonk and how they want him to focus on being quicker at the NHL level. He is likely heading back to London for another big year.
