The Flyers are getting some timely reinforcements.
Coming off an 0-3-0 road trip marred by injuries, the Flyers (17-11-5) host the Ducks (14-15-4) Tuesday.
Let's get into the essentials:
• When: 7 p.m. ET with Flyers Pregame Live at 6:30 p.m. ET
• Where: Wells Fargo Center
• Broadcast: NBC Sports Philadelphia
• Live stream: NBCSportsPhiladelphia.com and the NBC Sports MyTeams app
• Travis Konecny's return from a concussion comes just in time — the start of Joel Farabee's three-game suspension (see story).
The Flyers went 0-3-0 with five goals during Konecny's absence. They are 15-4-1 when he records a point.
• Andy Andreoff is back with the big club after being called up Tuesday morning. General manager Chuck Fletcher said Andreoff had been AHL affiliate Lehigh Valley's second-best player to Mikhail Vorobyev.

The Flyers are without forwards Farabee (suspension), Scott Laughton (groin), Tyler Pitlick (sinus issues, possible concussion), Oskar Lindblom (Ewing's sarcoma diagnosis), Michael Raffl (broken right pinkie finger) and Nolan Patrick (migraine disorder).
• The Flyers-Ducks matchup will be special for the Kase family.
Flyers forward David Kase will play his brother Ondrej Kase, a forward for the Ducks.
Their parents have made the trip from Czech Republic for the game. Here they are at dinner Monday night.
