Status report
The Flyers did not hold a morning skate after a 5-3 loss at the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday. ... Konecny briefly left the game Wednesday during the second period after blocking a shot but was able to return for the third. However, coach Rick Tocchet said after the game that it's not a certainty Konecny would play Thursday. ... Elias Lindholm, a forward, is considered day to day, but Sturm said, “hopefully it won't be too long." ... Poitras was recalled from Providence of the American Hockey League and is expected to make his season debut.
