Flyers welcome back RW Lupul

PHILADELPHIA (TICKER) —The Philadelphia Flyers received a spark Saturday, when right wing Joffrey Lupul returned to the lineup against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The 25-year-old Lupul missed Philadelphia’s previous three games with an abdominal injury. In 38 contests this season, the 6-1, 205-pound native of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta has recorded 13 goals and 12 assists.

Drafted seventh overall by Anaheim in 2002, Lupul has collected 90 goals and 96 assists in 331 career games with the Mighty Ducks, Edmonton Oilers and Flyers.
