Dan Carcillo is active for the Flyers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Blackhawks. It is being reported that rookie James van Riemsdyk will be a healthy scratch to make room for Carcillo. "Danny doesn't cross that line too much," Philadelphia coach Peter Laviolette said. "In fact, it goes the other way. I believe he finished top three in the penalties he draws as opposed to the penalties he takes. It was like a plus-25 rating. Danny Carcillo has done an excellent job with his discipline when he's been in the lineup. He plays an aggressive game, can agitate a little bit and be physical. He's done an excellent job of controlling his game and keeping it legal."

Injured Canadiens forward Tom Pyatt will be a "game-time decision" for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, coach Jacques Martin said Monday, as reported by ESPN.com. Pyatt, one of the team's top penalty killers, suffered what the team called an "upper body" injury in Game 4 in Montreal.

Montreal defenseman Andrei Markov has undergone knee surgery and will not return to the Canadiens? lineup during the playoffs, according to an Associated Press report on Wednesday. Markov will be out for six months after a successful procedure to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

The Flyers will have to try to complete their comeback against the Bruins without goalie Brian Boucher. Boucher is out for at least a month with a sprained MCL in his left knee that was suffered in Monday night's Game 5 win. Boston opened up a 3-0 series lead, but Philadelphia has taken the last two games to stay alive.

Sami Salo of the Canucks is listed as a game-time decision after the defensemen took part in the morning skate before Game 6 of the team?s playoff series against the Blackhawks, according to an Associated Press report. Salo is trying to return to the lineup for Tuesday night?s game after leaving Sunday?s game in the first period with a groin injury.

Flyers forward Simon Gagne could return to the ice for Game 4 against the Bruins on Friday night. He broke a toe on his right foot a little more than two weeks ago. Philadelphia is facing elimination after losing three straight games to Boston. Gagne was a surprise participant in Thursday's practice and he's listed as questionable.

Bruins forward David Krejci will miss the rest of the NHL playoffs after dislocating his right wrist late Wednesday. The Czech had surgery to repair the wrist at a Baltimore hospital hours later, according to an Associated Press report.

Penguins center Jordan Staal skated for about five minutes without full equipment at his team's morning skate on Tuesday. Stall was cut by the skate of Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban during a collision midway through the Penguins' 6-3 victory Friday in Game 1. He underwent surgery to repair a damaged tendon on top of his foot, but is expected to return to action during the playoffs. "I know there were a few chuckles when I said he is day to day. But he is day to day," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "He's doing well and progressing and you saw him on the ice for a short time without his gear on testing out his foot in the skate."
