Jakub Voracek (lower body) could be back in the lineup as soon as next Tuesday

Voracek (lower body) could be back in the lineup as soon as Tuesday against Detroit, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Voracek's owners will be happy to see that the former first-round pick appears to be nearing a return to game action, as he's been a consistent source of offensive production this season, notching 48 points (10 goals, 38 assists) in 60 games. Sam Gagner, who has slotted into a top-six role during Voracek's absence, will likely be relegated to a bottom-six role upon Voracek's return to the lineup.
