Flyers D Brandon Manning Suspended 2 Games

By Kevin Durso, Sports Talk Philly editor 

The Flyers will have at least one lineup change to make ahead of Tuesday's game against Colorado and it has nothing to do with the trade deadline.

Defenseman Brandon Manning was suspended for two games for a hit to the head on Pittsburgh forward Jake Guentzel in Saturday night's Stadium Series loss.

The Flyers defenseman is eligible to return on Saturday when the Flyers face the Washington Capitals.

Manning did not receive a penalty during the game and Guentzel remained in the game as well, picking up two assists in the 4-2 decision for Pittsburgh.

Manning has three goals and seven assists for 10 points in 53 games played this season. He also has 51 penalty minutes this season.

Video of Manning's hit on Guentzel can be seen below.
