Voracek skated on the fourth line in Monday's morning skate ahead of Philadelphia's game with Carolina, Bill Meltzer of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Voracek's nightmare season has continued, with coach Dave Hakstol now relegating him to the fourth line. After scoring 81 points last season, Voracek has only nine points in 20 games in 2015-16. Hakstol had showed patience with his star winger up until this point, but it now appears that he's had enough. Voracek is still a supremely-skilled player, so Hakstol will look for any justification to move Voracek back up the ladder and will continue to give him power play time.
