Ruff would not reveal his goaltender Saturday. Lehtonen is 1-10-3 with a 3.49 goals-against average and .890 save percentage in his career against the Flyers, but the last time he played against them he made 25 saves in a 2-1 Stars victory. He's also 2-1-0 with a 1.34 GAA and .949 save percentage in his past three games. Niemi is 4-1-0 in five regular-season games against the Flyers and was the starting goalie for the Blackhawks when they beat Philadelphia to win the Stanley Cup in 2010. But he's allowed nine goals in his past two games. "You can second guess any decision you can make on the goalies," Ruff said. "Sometimes you play the numbers, you're wrong, sometimes you play the numbers, you're right. You can't go back on any of the decisions." Eakin is expected to play after being a healthy scratch Thursday; he didn't practice Friday but is expected to play Saturday. If Hudler plays, Eaves will shift to the fourth line and Cracknell will be a healthy scratch. Honka was placed on injured reserve Friday, retroactive to Dec. 6, and is not with the team. Sharp skated on his own Friday but is no closer to returning. "He saw another specialist and he's doing pretty good," Ruff said. "Where the exercises takes him and how he feels, we'll go from there. He's working out hard and had a good skate." … There aren't expected to be any lineup changes for the Flyers.
