Status report
The Flyers held an optional morning skate Thursday. … Sandstrom will make consecutive starts for the first time this season. ... Hart did not travel to Ottawa; the goalie will miss his second straight game and remains day to day. … Couturier, a center, and Konecny, a forward, each skated but will not play; Couturier has not played this season and Konecny last played Feb. 20. … Talbot was in the starter's net during the Senators morning skate, though Ottawa coach D.J. Smith would not announce a starting goalie; Talbot has missed 12 games with a mid-body injury. ... Giroux missed practice Wednesday due to an illness, but took part in the skate and will play. … Greig, a forward who has missed two games, was a full participant in practice Wednesday and the Senators morning skate Thursday, but will not play. … Kleven will make his NHL debut. … Chabot, a defenseman injured in a 5-2 win against the Florida Panthers on Monday, is "likely out a couple weeks," Smith said.
