Status report
Neither team held a morning skate. … Smith, a defenseman, left Carolina's 4-3 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday with an injury and did not return. ... Hart has an eye infection and the goalie is unavailable. Flyers coach Mike Yeo said he's hopeful Hart will be able to play against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday. ... Ustimenko was recalled from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League to be the backup. ... Ristolainen will return after missing three games with an upper-body injury, and Brown is back after missing 14 games with a knee injury. … Forwards Hayes, Brassard and Farabee practiced Sunday but none will play against Carolina. ... Allison, out since Jan. 22, was placed on injured reserve but Yeo said the forward could be cleared to practice next week.
