Laughton was on the ice for Friday's practice but will miss at least another game when the Flyers face the Sharks in San Jose. With Laughton still out, the recently waived Andy Andreoff will play on Saturday.
Both Myers and Matt Niskanen will be game-time decisions in Ottawa, which means Robert Hagg and a potential call-up could have to play if both are not available.
Myers was not in the lineup for the last two games but it's unclear if it was injury-related. Overall, he has missed three of the last four games but will replace Robert Hagg in the lineup on Thursday. Myers has nine points (3G / 6A), a plus-14 rating and 12 PIMS in 18 games this season.
Laughton is not expected to be back until after the Christmas break, so the Flyers have moved him to IR to open up a roster spot. Laughton could travel on the Flyers' west coast road trip following the break.
Myers missed Wednesday's game in Colorado but is expected to replace Robert Hagg in the lineup in Minnesota. Myers has had a really nice year so far, recording nine points (3G / 6A) and a plus-14 rating in 17 games.
Murray allowed five goals on 27 shots in the Penguins loss in St. Louis last Saturday. Tristan Jarry has been getting more work because he is playing a lot better than Murray, but Murray gets the call tonight because Jarry went last night vs. Arizona. Murray is 0-2-3 with a 3.99 GAA and .852 SV% in his last six starts but he is a must-start on Saturday against a Red Wings team that has lost 10 straight games.
Dahlstrom played in the last two games but will be replaced by Nathan Beaulieu, who returns from an upper-body injury.
Marner has been out for the last 11 games with a high-ankle sprain but is expected to play Wednesday vs. the Avalanche. Marner is expected to skate with John Tavares and Ilya Mikheyev and will be back on the top power-play unit. Marner has 18 points (4G / 14A) in 18 games this year.
Stolarz, who has gone 8-5-1 with a 2.98 GAA and .910 SV% in 14 AHL games this season, will serve as Ryan Miller's backup on Monday. John Gibson is unavailable due to an illness.
Marner, who has missed the last 10 games, was back at practice on Monday but is not ruling out a return Wednesday vs. the Avalanche. Marner told reporters that he's taking it "day-by-day" so monitor his status prior to the second half of the Maple Leafs' Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back. Marner skated on the second line with John Tavares and Ilya Mikheyev on Monday and will re-enter the lineup with 18 points (4G / 14A) in 18 games when he's healthy.
Benning will play for the first time since November 19th. He was activated from IR on Friday but will replace Kris Russell, who is out with a personal matter. Benning has five assists in 23 games this season.
Murray was pulled after allowing four goals on 14 shots in the Penguins come-from-behind to the Canucks on Wednesday. It was another ugly outing for Murray, who has allowed at least four goals in three straight games, posting an .838 SV% in the process. He draws a tough road matchup vs. a Blues team that has won four of their last six (4-1-1).
Dahlstrom has not played since October 29th but will be in the lineup on Saturday because Nathan Beaulieu is out and Dmitry Kulikov was hurt last night. Dahlstrom has no points in 10 games this season.
Myers was a healthy scratch on Friday night but will replace Robert Hagg in the lineup on Saturday afternoon. Myers has three goals, three assists and a plus-9 rating in 13 games this season.
Myers played in five straight games but will be replaced by Shayne Gostisbehere in the lineup on Friday.
Murray allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Penguins overtime loss to the Islanders last Thursday. Tristan Jarry started each of the last two games but they'll get Murray back in the crease on Wednesday. Murray has lost four in a row (0-1-3) with a 3.40 GAA and .877 SV% but has a nice matchup vs. a Canucks team that is 2-2-0 while scoring 2.50 goals per game in the first four games of their road-trip.
