• The Wells Fargo Center can permit 3,100 fans to attend Flyers and Sixers games moving forward.

Tonight marks the return of Flyers fans after a stretch of 361 days without them. There's more right here on what fans need to know as they come back.

• Head coach Alain Vigneault will hold his pregame media availability at 4:30 p.m. ET. We should have a better idea then about the statuses of Philippe Myers and Michael Raffl.

Myers missed the team's 4-3 loss Saturday afternoon to the Penguins with an undisclosed injury. The 24-year-old defenseman did not play in the third period of the Flyers' 4-3 victory Thursday night after taking a big hit from Anthony Angello midway through the middle frame.

If Myers can't play Sunday, either Nate Prosser or Erik Gustafsson will fill in. Prosser got the nod Saturday over Gustafsson, who has sat four straight games.

Raffl took a shot to the hand in the third period of Saturday's game. He did not play the remainder of the game and finished with only 6:16 minutes of ice time.

If Raffl can't play Sunday, Connor Bunnaman is the likely option to fill his spot.

Updates:

Michael Raffl (hand) will not play tonight. Connor Bunnaman is in.

Philippe Myers returns. Erik Gustafsson will play for Robert Hagg, who will be healthy scratch.

Alain Vigneault said Michael Raffl is dealing with "a couple of issues." Said Raffl plays through pain a lot but they're going to get him a break tonight.

Alain Vigneault said Robert Hagg "has played well, I've liked the way he has played." But because Flyers have played six games in nine days, he wants fresh legs in Erik Gustafsson.
