Flyers' Radko Gudas: Out sick

Gudas has come down with an illness and consequently will not play Saturday afternoon against the Blackhawks.

Analysis:

While the Flyers could use his agitating style in the lineup, Gudas being out at least affords him a mental break as he's pointless over the past seven games. However, to be fair, he did have 19 PIM over that span, and that's true to form for Mr. Gudas. Look for Brandon Manning to draw into his place in the upcoming contest, presumably on the third pair with Ivan Provorov.
