Fedotenko out for Rangers against Flyers, projected lineups
PHILADELPHIA -- With an early start today at Wells Fargo Center, neither the Flyers nor the Rangers skated. But with both teams coming off wins, the lineups shouldn't look too different.

One big change for the Rangers, however, will be the absence of forward Ruslan Fedotenko, who is out following taking a hard hit in a win Thursday win against Tampa Bay.

On Friday, Rangers coach John Tortorella said he would dress seven defensemen rather than call up an extra forward from Connecticut of the American Hockey League, meaning Stu Bickel will return to the lineup.

Here's how the rosters for both teams should look today:

RANGERS

Artem Anisimov - Derek Stepan - Marian Gaborik
Brandon Dubinsky - Brian Boyle - Brandon Prust
Carl Hagelin - Brad Richards - Ryan Callahan
Mike Rupp - John Mitchell

Marc Staal - Steve Eminger
Ryan McDonagh - Dan Girardi
Michael Del Zotto - Anton Stralman
Stu Bickel

Henrik Lundqvist will start in goal, with Martin Biron the backup.

FLYERS

Scott Hartnell - Claude Giroux - Jaromir Jagr
Brayden Schenn - Danny Briere - Wayne Simmonds
Matt Read - Maxime Talbot - Jakub Voracek
Zac Rinaldo - Sean Couturier - Tom Sestito

Kimmo Timonen - Braydon Coburn
Matt Carle - Marc-Andre Bourdon
Andrej Meszaros - Erik Gustafsson

With Ilya Bryzgalov still suffering from the flu, Sergei Bobrovsky will start in net today. Jason Bacashihua will be the backup.
