SUNRISE, Fla. — Here are the projected lines for the game Saturday between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Florida Panthers.
FLYERS
Wayne Simmonds - Claude Giroux - Matt Read
Jakub Voracek - Sean Couturier - Maxime Talbot

Nicklas Grossman - Braydon Coburn
Injured: Danny Briere, Andrej Meszaros, Scott Hartnell, Zac Rinaldo

Notes: Veteran defenseman Kurtis Foster returns to the lineup after sitting out the last two games. Foster said an undisclosed injury kept him out against New Jersey on Tuesday, but he could have played Thursday night against the Rangers. The Flyers also will have forward Brayden Schenn back in the lineup after he served his one-game suspension for his hit on New Jersey defenseman Anton Volchenkov. “You may not agree with it, but you respect their decision,” Schenn said. “It’s no fun missing a game, but I’m glad I’m back after sitting out one game.”
PANTHERS
Tomas Fleischmann - Tomas Kopecky - Alex Kovalev
Jonathan Huberdeau - Peter Mueller - Scottie Upshall
Quinton Howden - Shawn Matthias - Drew Shore
Jack Skille - Jerred Smithson - George Parros
Ed Jovanovski - Keaton Ellerby
Injured: Stephen Weiss, Kris Versteeg, Erik Gudbranson, Marcel Goc, Sean Bergenheim, Michael Caruso
Scratches: Mike Santorelli, Tyson Strachan
Notes: The Florida Panthers’ lineup was up in the air after the morning skate because of the uncertain status of both Tomas Fleischmann and Kris Versteeg. “We were a hard scout today,” Dineen said. “You look at the morning skate and you look at the bodies in the lineup and the possibilities. We’re not sure what we’re putting on the ice tonight just based on guys are that close to coming back.”
