Helgeson, 25, has seven points (2G / 5A) in 37 games with Albany this season and one assist in 12 games with the Devils. Damon Severson has been in and out of the lineup for the Devils recently, so look for Helgeson to replace him if he plays on Thursday.
Helgeson had one assist in 12 games, but will come out tonight vs. the Rangers. Helgeson will be replaced by Damon Severson, who was a healthy scratch for the last two games.
Laughton has just 14 points (4G / 10A) in 52 games this season and has only two assists in his last 12 games. He will be replaced by Jordan Weal tonight.

Laughton will miss his sixth straight game with an upper-body injury, but his return to the ice for the morning skate is a good sign that Laughton is nearing a return and could be available for Saturday’s game vs. Toronto.
Laughton will miss his fourth consecutive game with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Wednesday. There has been very limited updates on Laughton so there is no telling when he will be back. Look for him to return shortly after the All Star break.
Laughton must have suffered the upper-body injury in the Flyers 1-0 loss to the Capitals last night. With Laughton out, Zac Rinaldo is expected to slide back into the lineup. Expect the Flyers to shuffle their lines with Laughton’s absence.
Laughton missed Saturday’s game with an undisclosed injury, but will return tomorrow vs. the Senators. Laughton will centre the second line with Michael Raffl and Wayne Simmonds. He has two goals and three assists in 22 games this season.

Laughton, 20, was the Flyers first round pick (20th overall) in 2012. He had registered 11 points (6G / 5A) in 13 games prior to yesterday’s recall. He will skate on the Flyers’ third line with Vincent Lecavalier and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare.
Laughton, 19, made the team out of training camp for a second consecutive season, but unlike last season, when he played five games in the NHL before going back to juniors, he was a healthy scratch for the season opener. “Scott was sent back to Oshawa today,” said general manager Paul Holmgren. “We felt this was the right thing to do for Scott and for the Flyers as it relates to his development.”
Laughton can remain with the Flyers for nine games because of his junior eligibility and then the club has to make a decision to either keep him or return him to Oshawa. If Laughton remains, his NHL contract would kick in immediately.
The Flyers can bring Laughton back as soon as the Oshawa Generals are eliminated from OHL contention.
