Timonen in, Coburn out for Flyers

May 18, 2008 - 7:20 PM PITTSBURGH (Ticker) - The Philadelphia Flyers will welcome the return of one of their prize defensemen on Sunday when they take the ice for Game Five of the Eastern Conference finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

All-Star blue-liner Kimmo Timonen will return to the Flyers' lineup after missing the first four games of the series with a blood clot in his left foot. The Finn leads the team in ice time, averaging 24:55 per contest.

Fellow defenseman Braydon Coburn, however, will miss his third game of the series after sustaining a facial injury just 1:51 into the first period of Game Two.

The Flyers face a three-games-to-one deficit in the best-of-seven series.
