The Flyers did not hold a morning skate. ... Bunnaman and Twarynski will take the places of Patrick, a center, and Lindblom, a forward. ... Gostisbehere, a defenseman, cleared waivers and skated with the taxi squad. … The Sabres held an optional morning skate. … Cozens is expected to be out about a week after the center left a 4-3 overtime loss to Philadelphia on Monday after a hit by Myers. ... Asplund participated in the morning skate, but the center is expected to miss his fourth straight game.
