Key Points:

Porter Martone, the Flyers' 19-year-old winger and sixth overall pick last year, is set to make his NHL debut Tuesday night against the Washington Capitals following the end of his college career at Michigan State.
Martone will play on the right wing alongside Christian Dvorak and Travis Konecny, with Konecny moving to his off-wing to accommodate the rookie, while Alex Bump is a healthy scratch to make room in the lineup.
The Flyers' coaching staff has placed Martone on the first power-play unit, indicating confidence in his abilities by assigning him a key role similar to what he had in college, even at the expense of Matvei Michkov, who has been moved to the second unit.
The Flyers are looking to secure two points in this game to keep their playoff hopes alive, with puck drop scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at Washington.
