Zegras was recalled from San Diego (AHL) and is expected to make his NHL debut on Monday.

The Ducks promoted their top prospect on Sunday and he should make his NHL debut on Monday. Zegras skated with Sam Steel and Jakob Silfverberg in Sunday's practice, paving the way for him to play in the top-6 right away. The 19-year-old had nine points (4G / 5A) in his first eight AHL games.

Braun (COVID-19) will not play Thursday vs. New York.

The Flyers will return to the ice for the first time in 10 days after a COVID-19 outbreak but will do so without six regulars. Braun, Claude Giroux, Jakub Voracek, Travis Konecny, Oskar Lindblom and Scott Laughton will all miss Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Konecny is expected to be a healthy scratch on Saturday.

Konecny was held without a shot in 17:33 TOI in Thursday's win and has just one assist and one shot in his last three games. Head coach Alain Vigneault was displeased with his top-6 despite the win and it looks like he was particularly unhappy with Konecny, who could be a healthy scratch on Saturday. Konecny stayed on for extra work with the scratches following the morning skate, so look for Samuel Morin to replace him vs. the Islanders.

Couturier will miss at least two weeks with a Costochondral separation.

Couturier was forced to leave Friday's game with a mid-body injury and did not return. An MRI on Saturday revealed a Costochondral separation, which sounds horribly painful (Google it). Missing two weeks will cost Couturier at least the next seven games. While this is a brutal blow for the Flyers they have some of the best centre depth in the NHL and are built to withstand this loss.
