Projected Lineups
Flyers Scratches: Scott Laughton (injury), Nick Seeler (injury), Hayden Hodgson (healthy), Kevin Connauton (healthy)
- Flyers: Nick Seeler suffered an injury in the third period of Saturday's game against Toronto. It is unlikely he plays, which would mean Keith Yandle comes back into the lineup. No other changes are expected.
