Status report
The Flyers did not hold a morning skate following a 3-2 overtime win at the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday. … Ersson will start after Vladar made 34 saves at Anaheim. … Couturier, a forward, will not play because of an upper-body injury; Flyers coach Rick Tocchet said he is “hoping it’s not long-term.”. … Tocchet said the Flyers will have “some game-time decisions” on defense because of injuries. … Kempe did not participate in the Kings morning skate and could miss his second straight game after being scratched following warmups prior to a 4-1 win at the New York Rangers on Monday; if the forward is available, he would regain his place on the first line with Kopitar and Panarin. … Armia has resumed skating in a noncontact jersey; the forward will miss his 10th straight game.
