Lindblom skates with Flyers after completing quarantine

If the Philadelphia Flyers need a pick-me-up following their 5-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Friday, this should do it.

Oskar Lindblom took the ice Sunday for the first time since finishing the required quarantine period after arriving in Toronto for the NHL's return to play.

The team showed its support for Lindblom with a prolonged stick-tap tribute as he led the stretch after their morning skate.

Lindblom hasn't played since being diagnosed with cancer in December, but the Flyers included him on their postseason roster in late July.

The forward - who celebrated his 24th birthday Saturday - rang the bell on July 2 to signify to end of his treatments.

In late June, Lindblom practiced with the team for the first time since his diagnosis.
