Status report

Askarov didn't take part in the morning skate because of an illness, but Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky expects him to be available as the backup. ... Reaves will play after being scratched the previous two games; he’ll replace Skinner at forward. ... Liljegren will be a game-time decision because of a lower-body injury; if he can't play, Mukhamadullin would replace him. The defenseman has been scratched the past three games. ... Desharnais, who will miss his seventh straight game, has begun skating, but the defenseman is not expected to play again until after the Christmas break, Warsofsky said. ... The Flyers held an optional morning skate. ... York skated Tuesday, but the defenseman is expected to miss his second straight game. ... Murchison, who was recalled from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League on Saturday, will make his NHL debut, replacing Zamula, a defenseman. ... Grundstrom, acquired in a trade from San Jose on Oct. 5 and recalled from Lehigh Valley on Dec. 2, will play after being scratched for two games. He'll replace Deslauriers at forward.
