Bobrovsky will play vs PGH tomorrow

Goalie Start
The Flyers, who skated five guys this morning, appear to be going with Sergei Bobrovsky in net.
Nothing from the Flyers sources yet so stand by for a confirmation.
Goalie Start
#flyers Sergei Bobrovky vs #canadiens.
in four career starts against the Habs, Bobrovsky has a 3-1-0 record with a 2.26 GAA and .927 SV%.
The trainers assured Kulikov and Dineen that they would be able to keep the wound clean to guard against infection.
“He’s a tough kid,” Dineen said. “He’s shown us numerous times that his will to play is large.”
Despite the nasty gash, the young defender was able to draw into the lineup. Last night he landed a hit, took a shot on goal and finished with a minus-1 rating in the team's 2-1 loss to the Kings. Expect him to stay in the lineup moving forward.
#FlaPanthers D Dmitry Kulikov out for some time with deep cut on right leg. Stitched up at RBC Center
Despite the injury, Kulikov will travel with the team on their two-game, West Coast swing. The former 14th overall pick has a goal and 15 points in 23 games but was held scoreless tonight. He is expected to play within the next two games.

Looks like Jeff Petry is going to be able to go tonight.
Sounds like Petry will play after all, making Alex Plante a healthy scratch for the Oilers.
Line Change
Petry feeling "under the weather" leading to Plante's recall from OKC but the move is precautionary, according to Coach Tom Renney
Consider Petry a game-time decision for tonight's game. The former collegiate standout scored a goal and five points in 15 games and was paired with Ryan Whitney last night. If he can't go, look for Alex Plante to enter the lineup.

#FlaPanthers Kevin Dineen would say if Dmitry Kulikov will play v #TBLightning but Kuli said he would; out warming up now
Kulikov warming up is certainly a good sign he will play tonight.

#Flyers Lavy says Bob is in goal today against Montreal
In three career starts against the Habs, Bob holds a 2-1-0 record with a 2.68 GAA and .920 SV%.
"I hope so. I think if it was his choice he would have played last night, but I think we’re also very optimistic he’ll be back.”
After missing Wednesday's game with a late scratch, Kulikov sounded like he would definitely only miss one game. However, that sounds somewhat in question now. Stay tuned for a further update on his status.
#FlaPanthers say D Dmitry Kulikov day-to-day with lower body; it's only a sore groin. He'll be back Friday v #TBLightning
If you own Kulikov, remember to put him back in your lineup. The Russian defender scored a goal and 15 points over 20 games.
Hmm. Dmitry Kulikov scratched tonight. Gudbranson playing. Guessing Kuli's hurt #nhl #flapanthers
No word on the extent of Kulikov's injury. Stay tuned for a further update.
