Status report
Ersson will start his fourth straight game. Hart, who started 26 of the first 35 games for the Flyers, passed his evaluation, coach John Tortorella said, but will be unavailable for a third straight game. He was injured in a 6-5 loss to the visiting Carolina Hurricanes on Dec. 23. ... Braun will replace Seeler after being a healthy scratch the past three games. ... Stolarz returns after he was unavailable the past nine games because of a lower-body injury sustained in a 6-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Dec. 9. ... Lukas Dostal, a goalie who started six games while Stolarz and Gibson were injured, was returned to San Diego of the American Hockey League on Sunday. ... The Ducks will skate 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
