Vaclav Prospal is wiping away suggestions that his legs are tired. The forward has just one point in the last four games and has been mostly invisible.

It has nothing to do with being tired. We have to create more."

Vaclav Prospal is expected to return to the ice on Wednesday, according to the Philadelphia Enquirer. He was previously out with the flu. Prospal has scored 69 points over 77 games this season and he will be a solid addition back to the lineup, which will move Steve Downie back down.

The Flyers are in terrible need of a jolt having lost their leading sniper, Simon Gagne, and 10 of their last 11 games.
