Pittsburgh is second in the Metropolitan Division, six points behind the Washington Capitals and seven ahead of sixth-place Philadelphia. It is 6-2-0 in its past eight games and 14-4-1 in its past 19.
Michael Raffl (upper body) will return for the Flyers, who have won their past two games and five of their past seven (5-2-0).
