Status report
Fox, a defenseman, and Shesterkin, a goalie, each skated before practice Friday but neither is expected to play Saturday. … Vaakanainen, who had been scratched the previous four games, is expected to replace Soucy; the defenseman will not play because of personal reasons. … Mackey was recalled from Hartford of the American Hockey League on Friday but it’s unlikely the defenseman will play. … Kolosov could make his second start of the season; he was recalled from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League on Thursday and made 13 saves in relief of Ersson in a 6-3 loss at the Pittsburgh Penguins that night. … The Flyers did not practice Friday after playing back-to-back road games Wednesday and Thursday.
