Couturier is not travelling with the club, which is more telling than their vague status updates. Expect the Flyers to take it easy on the rookie and not rush him back into the lineup.

Johansen was playing on the fourth line and will make way for Dane Byers to re-enter the lineup.

Great news for Couturier although he is expected to undergo concussion protocol and miss up to seven days.

Thompson has three goals and six points through 30 games and is a vital cog in the team's shutdown line.

Couturier is expected to miss the team's next game and could be replaced by Claude Giroux or Brayden Schenn. Expect a further update on the rookie's status.

Couturier was hit in the head with slapshot while trying to screen the goalie. He could be the latest Flyer to be sidelined with a concussion.

The rookie gets a huge bump to the top line with Claude Giroux sidelined. The Phoenix, Arizona native has five goals and eight points in 28 games, primarily centering the fourth line.

Sounds like Thompson will play tonight after practicing without contact yesterday. The Anchorage, Alaska native has two goals and five points through 27 games.

Thompson is unlikely to play this weekend so expect Blair Jones to stick in the lineup. The Anchorage, Alaska native has two goals and five points through 27 games.

Braun is expected to stay in the top four. He has one assist through 11 games.

With Thompson out, expect Ryan Shannon to get back into the lineup. The hulking center scored two goals and five points prior to getting hurt.

Braun gets into the lineup and probably plays in the top four. He has one assist through 10 games.

Expect Braun to draw back into the lineup now that Douglass Murray has been ruled out of tomorrow's game.

Johnson gets back into the lineup after missing a few games with a groin injury. Expect him to be eased back into the lineup as rookie Stefan Elliott has been handling most of Johnson's offensive duties.

Johnson hasn't played since the 20th, missing the past five games. While he's close to returning, the Avs will play it safe with their top defender.

Johnson will remain out of the lineup but could return with in a week. Coming over from the St. Louis Blues last season, the former 1st overall pick has disappointed with only nine assists in 21 games.

Braun had one assist through 10 games and loses all of his fantasy hockey value with this recent demotion.

Simmonds moves back up to the second line. In his first season with the Flyers, the power forward has scored four goals and eight points with 40 PIM through 23 games.

Johnson won't be eligible to play for the Avs for at least seven days. He has nine assists through 21 games with a minus-12 rating.
