Status report
The Flyers did not hold a morning skate following a 3-2 overtime win at the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday. … Ersson will start after Vladar made 34 saves at Anaheim. ... Couturier, a forward, will not play because of an upper-body injury; Flyers coach Rick Tocchet said he is “hoping it’s not long-term.”. … Tocchet said the Flyers will have “some game-time decisions” on defense because of injuries. ... Kempe did not participate in the Kings morning skate and could miss his second straight game after being scratched following warmups prior to a 4-1 win at the New York Rangers on Monday; if the forward is available, he would regain his place on the first line with Kopitar and Panarin. … Armia has resumed skating in a noncontact jersey; the forward will miss his 10th straight game.
