Flyers' Voracek questionable vs. Hurricanes

[EDIT: The game Tuesday between the Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes has been postponed due to weather and will be made up Wednesday at 6 p.m.]

Philadelphia Flyers forward Jakub Voracek is questionable for his team's game Wednesday against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Voracek left the Flyers' 4-3 shootout loss to the New York Islanders on Monday midway through the third period with what the team has called an upper-body injury. It's been reported by multiple media outlets that it's an injury to Voracek's left hand. He did not take part in the team's morning skate Tuesday.

In 50 games Voracek has 14 goals and 35 points. If he can't play it would be just the 10th game he's missed in six NHL seasons, and first since March 8-11, 2012.

Carolina's morning skate featured an appearance by goaltender Cam Ward. He's been out since Dec. 31 with a lower-body injury. He isn't ready to play yet, but the fact that he skated is a good sign as far as his recovery is going.

Here are the lineups each team could use when they play Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia:
