Mark Streit, out since Nov. 12, expected to return for Flyers

NHL, Philadelphia Flyers

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Mark Streit, who has been out since Nov. 12 after having surgery to repair a pubic plate detachment, is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday in San Jose.

"It feels strong and my skating is strong," Streit told reporters Monday. "There are no restrictions at all, and I feel comfortable. It's just a matter of getting my timing back."

The 38-year-old Streit has three goals and six assists this season.

He is expected to replace Michael Del Zotto, who has an upper-body injury and left Monday's practice with "a lot of discomfort and pain."
