Status report

Hischier will not play; the center returned to New Jersey for evaluation. Coach Sheldon Keefe said he's unsure how long Hischier could be out. ... Jack Hughes missed the morning skate but will play. ... Halonen was recalled from Utica of the American Hockey League on Monday. ... The Flyers held an optional morning skate. ... Couturier is out with an illness and Laughton will replace the forward in his return after missing three games for personal reasons. ... Poehling skated before practice Sunday, but there is no timeline for the forward to return. ... Zamula did not practice Sunday or Monday, and the defenseman could miss his second straight game. ... Deslauriers skated on his own prior to the morning skate. The forward hasn’t played since Nov. 9.
