“If you’re going down the line and you think this is our starting lineup, I’m not sure. I still don’t know what it is,” he said. “I think it’s been a good camp for us that way, getting opportunities with people and seeing some minutes. So I think we have a pretty good indication of what they are right now.”
Tortorella cited Brink playing in three of the Flyers’ last four preseason games, including a back-to-back, as a reason to hold him out.
