VOORHEES \u2013 Brayden Schenn made a lot of noise on Thursday \u2013 the most he\u2019s made since coming back from his three-game suspension.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes some time,\u201d Schenn said. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy coming from back from three games.\u201d<\/p>\n

His three-point performance comes on the heels of a two-point outing on Tuesday, giving him five points in five games since returning. Those last two games saw him playing on the third line, a move that seems to have sparked him a bit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever situation I\u2019m put in, I\u2019ll make the most of it,\u201d Schenn said.<\/p>\n

His situation on Saturday will be a familiar one. He\u2019ll be penciled in on the top line once again next to Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy to be back with Simmer and G,\u201d Schenn said. \u201cI\u2019ve played well with those guys. It\u2019s time for us to get it going as a line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Head coach Dave Hakstol has done a lot of line juggling this season, some have benefitted the team, others not so much. His decision to bump Schenn down a few lines after three scoreless outings appears to be one of those better moves.<\/p>\n

Lyubimov has impressed the Flyers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fun fact: there are three rookies on the Flyers roster. The die-hard fan knows that, but for everyone else, slipping under the cracks between the likes of Ivan Provorov and Travis Konecny is Roman Lyubimov \u2013 the other rookie.<\/p>\n

After being scratched the first two games, Lyubimov has played in five of the six games since. Going off of the lines at Friday\u2019s practice, he\u2019ll move up to the third line with Pierre-Eduoard Bellemare and Matt Read. The Russian import hasn\u2019t done anything flashy (he\u2019s yet to record a point) but he has looked every bit the part of a bottom six forward despite getting limited minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s an everyday player,\u201d Hakstol said. \u201cIn terms of his practice habit and game habits and his work habits, those are the things that have continued to impress us and grow on us.\u201d<\/p>\n
