Status report
Philadelphia held an optional morning skate Saturday, but coach John Tortorella said he will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen, with Braun back in after being a healthy scratch the past two games and 19 of the previous 22. … Ekman-Larsson is out "some weeks," according to coach Rick Tocchet, after the defenseman was injured during a 6-4 loss to the New York Rangers on Wednesday. ... Wolanin was called up from Abbotsford of the American Hockey League on Saturday to take Ekman-Larsson's place. … Lazar, a forward, is day to day after leaving the game against the Rangers late in the third period. … Demko, a goalie who has been out since Dec. 1, planned to back up against the Flyers after returning to practice Tuesday, but left practice early Thursday and took what Tocchet called a "maintenance day" Saturday.
