Boucher, Tollefsen back; Emery to start next three

Flyers’ backup goaltender Brian Boucher returned to the lineup on Monday after being forced to take a short stint on the IR due to a groin tweak suffered in the preseason.  Goalie Johan Backlund was returned to the Phantoms.

Defenseman Ole-Kristian Tollefsen will also return to the lineup, but will remain inactive for Tuesday’s home opener.  Rookie defenseman MA Bourdon was returned to the Phantoms.

Despite Boucher’s return, the Flyers plan on starting Emery for the next three contests, Tuesday against Washington, Thursday against Pittsburgh and Saturday against the Anaheim Ducks.
