Edler finished last night’s game, but was not on the ice for Friday’s practice and is listed as day-to-day. Edler is in danger of missing Saturday’s game in Toronto, but monitor his status during the morning skate for a definitive answer.

Armia left Thursday’s game after playing 13:21 and did not return. There is no word whether or not Armia will be in the lineup on Friday—head coach Paul Maurice will not address the media until around 5 p.m. ET—Armia’s status will not be known until then.

Laughton, who is on long-term IR with a knee injury will go to Lehigh Valley to get up to speed before returning to the Flyers. Laughton had seven goals and 14 assists (21 points) in 71 games last season.

Haula has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury and is expected to miss at least another week. Expect the Wild to recall a centre from Iowa to fill-in for the injured Zac Dalpe until Haula is ready to play.

Kuemper allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Wild’s win over the Kings on Tuesday. With Devan Dubnyk starting last night, Kuemper will go again tonight against the Islanders. Kuemper was 3-3-3 with a 2.48 GAA and .915 SV% on the road last year and he makes for a decent Sunday spot-start option.

Haula has reportedly been playing through a lower-body injury for a week, but might not be able to go tonight vs. the Devils. If Haula can’t go, Joel Eriksson Ek is expected to make his NHL debut.

Devan Dubnyk started the first two games of the season, but Kuemper will make his season debut tonight in Minnesota. The 26-year-old had a mediocre 2015-16 season, having gone 6-7-5 with a 2.43 GAA and .915 SV%. He draws a good matchup tonight against a struggling Kings team without Jonathan Quick. They’re 0-2-0 and averaged just 1.50 goals per game so far.

Armia had just one shot on goal in 10:38 in the Jets’ season opener on Thursday. Armia will be replaced be Chris Thorburn on the fourth line.

Laughton is recovering from a sprained knee that he suffered in training camp. With Laughton expected to miss at least 10 games, his move to LTIR helps the Flyers with some cap relief and a roster spot. Start monitoring Laughton’s status in about three weeks when he will be eligible to be removed from LTIR.

Laughton reportedly suffered the injury when he lost an edge in practice on Wednesday. Laughton was on-pace to make the Flyers’ opening night roster, but this injury leaves the door open for Travis Konecny to make the team after a tremendous training camp.
