Status report
The Flyers did not hold a morning skate after a 5-3 loss at the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday. … Konecny briefly left the game Wednesday during the second period after blocking a shot but was able to return for the third. However, coach Rick Tocchet said after the game that it’s not a certainty Konecny would play Thursday. … Elias Lindholm, a forward, is considered day to day, but Sturm said, “hopefully it won’t be too long.” … Poitras was recalled from Providence of the American Hockey League and is expected to make his season debut.
