Brown has not played since January 8th due to an MCL sprain but will be back on the Flyers' fourth line on Monday. Brown has scored just one goal with three assists (four points) in 20 games with the Flyers this season.
Mittelstadt has only played in seven games this season, scoring one goal and one assist. He centred the third line with Rasmus Asplund and Kyle Okposo on Friday and will play for the first time since January 30th on Saturday.
Kastelic has played in eight straight games but will be replaced by Dylan Gambrell in the lineup on Tuesday. Kastelic has one assist in eight games while averaging just 8:35 TOI/gm since joining the Senators in late January.
Mittelstadt returned for three games but re-aggravated his upper-body injury on Sunday and will come out of the lineup on Tuesday. Tage Thompson is set to return to the lineup to replace Mittelstadt.
Kastelic was a fifth-round pick in 2019 and has spent the last year and a half in Belleville (AHL). The 6-foot-3, 210 lbs. centre, who has scored five goals with six assists (11 points) in 31 AHL games this season, will replace Josh Norris (shoulder).
Mittelstadt will play for the first time since December 7th and is expected to centre the second line with Peyton Krebs and Anders Bjork. Mittelstadt has scored one goal on seven shots in four games this season.
DiPietro may be in line to start on Sunday with Jaroslav Halak in COVID-19 protocol and Thatcher Demko playing yesterday. DiPietro has gone 4-7-2 with a 3.19 GAA and .896 SV% in 13 AHL games this season.
Geekie will not play Wednesday in Dallas, so Alex Wennberg will move up to the third line and Max McCormick will draw back into the lineup.
