Rasmus Ristolainen Back In Flyers Lineup Tuesday
2 years agoPhiladelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen will get back into the lineup Tuesday against St. Louis after sitting out one game as a healthy scratch. The Finnish blue-liner missed the start of the season with a lower-body injury, and he's been underwhelming in the four games he has played, to say the least. Head coach John Tortorella openly criticized Ristolainen on Monday. "He just hasn't met expectations," Tortorella said. "He needs to play better. I'm not going to go that much deeper into it, but I don't think he's played well enough." Ristolainen, who is carrying a $5.1 million cap hit, hasn't yet registered any points this season, going minus-four while averaging 17:19 of ice time.
