This Flyers prospect will be looking to shine in Game 5 against the Penguins.
The Philadelphia Flyers will be facing off against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 5 on Monday night. If the Flyers win, they will officially knock out the Penguins and move on to the second round.
The Flyers are making a notable change to their lineup for this contest, as Matvei Michkov is expected to be scratched. Meanwhile, Flyers prospect Alex Bump is expected to enter the lineup.
This is a huge opportunity for Bump to try to show the Flyers that he can make an impact in the playoffs. The 22-year-old forward impressed during his first NHL regular-season action this campaign with the Flyers, as he had five goals, four assists, nine points, and a plus-3 rating in 17 games.
Bump also had 11 goals and 26 points in 36 AHL games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms this season. With this, the young forward has shown promise and will now be looking to take advantage of his big opportunity in Game 5 from here.
