Status report
Greenway was one of five players to skate Wednesday morning after not practicing Tuesday. ... Kozak, a forward, also skated, along with the three goalies on the roster, Ellis, Luukkonen and Lyon. ... Ristolainen practiced for the first time since having surgery March 26 to repair a ruptured right triceps tendon; Flyers coach Rick Tocchet said the defenseman is not cleared for contact but is getting closer. ... Foerster is expected to be out 2-3 months after the forward was injured during the second period of a 5-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday. ... Grundstrom was recalled from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League on Tuesday but the forward is not expected to play.
