Status report
Kulich was recalled from Rochester of the American Hockey League on Saturday and will play with Greenway out; the forward had left practice early Friday because of what coach Lindy Ruff called a "nagging ailment." ... Thompson took part in an optional morning skate and the center said he expects to play at the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday. ... Luukkonen also skated Saturday; Ruff said Friday he expects the goalie to be available against the Kings as well. ... Couturier took part in the Flyers morning skate Saturday and could play after missing a 5-4 overtime win at the Ottawa Senators on Thursday because of a lower-body injury. He's expected to replace Frost, a forward. ... Drysdale and York took part in the skate Saturday but neither defenseman will play; Drysdale wore a noncontact jersey.
