Seeler has missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but will replace Egor Zamula in the lineup on Saturday. Seeler has been held pointless in 23 games with the Flyers this season.
Cates missed the last two games while in COVID-19 protocol but will replace Connor Bunnaman in the lineup on Saturday. Cates has scored one goal while averaging just 8:36 TOI/gm in four games with the Flyers this season.
Zamula has picked up three goals and 11 assists (14 points) in 25 AHL games this season and is expected to make his season debut on Thursday. Zamula will replace Travis Sanheim, who was placed on the COVID-19 protocol list.
The Flyers' COVID-19 protocol list continues to grow, as both Sanheim and Travis Konecny were added on Wednesday. They going Claude Giroux, Ivan Provorov, Nick Seeler and Jackson Cates--all will likely miss Thursday's game.

Laughton, Carter Hart and Derick Brassard join Sean Couturier, who was added to the protocol list on Sunday. Despite losing four regulars to start the week, they are expected to get Kevin Hayes and Morgan Frost back in time for Wednesday's game.
Couturier was the only active player added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday but three more players joined him on Monday. The Flyers could get Kevin Hayes and Morgan Frost back ahead of Wednesday's game in Seattle, which would obviously help offset the loss of their No.1 centre.
The Panthers placed four new players in COVID-19 protocol on Sunday, the same day that they activated eight players from the list. With Tippett likely out until the middle of next week, Ryan Lomberg moved up into the top-9 in Monday's practice.
The Kings have a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, so there's a chance that Jonathan Quick will need to start both games.
Farabee has missed the last seven games with an upper-body injury but will draw back into the lineup on Saturday. Farabee, who has seven goals and three assists in 21 games, will be on the top line with Sean Couturier and Travis Konecny.
Simmonds and Jason Spezza were the latest to be added to the COVID-19 protocol list, joining Alexander Kerfoot and John Tavares. Tonight they are scheduled to play in Vancouver, where the Canucks are currently missing five players due to protocol.
Frost was pulled from Tuesday's game and entered COVID-19 protocol. As of now, he's the only Flyers player who has tested positive.
Cates has scored two goals with three assists (five points) in 18 AHL games this season. The 24-year-old made four NHL appearances last year and could make his season debut on Friday or Saturday.
Farabee is week-to-week with an upper-body injury that he suffered in Need York on December 1st. He was moved to IR on Thursday to open up a roster spot to call Jackson Cates up from the AHL.
