Status report
Fox, a defenseman, and Shesterkin, a goalie, each skated before practice Friday but neither is expected to play Saturday. ... Vaakanainen, who had been scratched the previous four games, is expected to replace Soucy; the defenseman will not play because of personal reasons. ... Mackey was recalled from Hartford of the American Hockey League on Friday but it's unlikely the defenseman will play. ... Kolosov could make his second start of the season; he was recalled from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League on Thursday and made 13 saves in relief of Ersson in a 6-3 loss at the Pittsburgh Penguins that night. ... The Flyers did not practice Friday after playing back-to-back road games Wednesday and Thursday.
