Status report
Mayhew, a forward, will not play because of a swollen eye; Cates will enter the lineup in his place. … Brassard will miss a second straight game; the Flyers plan to hold the center out until he regains enough strength to remain in the lineup, coach Mike Yeo said. Brassard has played four games since first injuring his hip Nov. 23. … Other than DeSmith starting, the Penguins will dress the same lineup they used in a 4-2 win at the New Jersey Devils on Sunday.
