Mike Richards and Scottie Upshall hope to return to the ice for the Flyers on Thursday night against the Senators. Richards and Upshall have missed the team's last three games because of a flu outbreak that has ravaged the team over the last two weeks. "I've never been sick like this," Richards said Monday. "I don't think I've ever missed a game being sick and now missing three is disappointing." "I'm starting to get my energy back and put weight back on. The headaches are gone, the sore throat, the coughing is gone and I'm feeling pretty good," he added. "I'm congested a little bit, but hopefully that will be gone by Thursday."
