Marc Staal has been cleared to play for the Flyers, but it's uncertain if he will be in the lineup for Saturday's game. Bobby Brink is expected to be a healthy scratch for the third straight game. Carter Hart is likely to start as the goalie. John Tortorella, the Flyers coach, wants to balance winning and the development of young players. The team is on a three-game win streak. There are conflicting reports about whether Staal will play, as he was not seen in pregame warmups, suggesting he might be out for at least one more game.

I do not see Marc Staal on the ice for the Flyers in pregame warmups. Tortorella said he was fully cleared yesterday after practice. So for those who didn't think the Flyers would ever scratch Marc Staal... it appears to be happening.
Don't see Marc Staal, so looks like he'll be out for at least one more game. The defenseman has been cleared to play, but Flyers may have wanted to wait until Sunday for his return. We'll see.

Bobby Brink will be a healthy scratch Saturday. John Tortorella wants to get him back in, but also wants to be fair to his team as it’s on a three-game win streak. Tortorella reiterated Flyers will balance winning and development of young players all season.
Torts says that Marc Staal is cleared to return. Wouldn't say whether he'd be in the lineup on Saturday, though, so we'll see.
Marc Staal is cleared and good to play. We’ll see if he plays Saturday. Egor Zamula has fought it a bit and John Tortorella mentioned that today.
Looks like Marc Staal could be an option for tomorrow. I asked him if he's good to go and the reply was, "Ask Torts." Which will be done shortly. Also, Bobby Brink stayed on late so he's likely to be a scratch for third straight. Carter Hart off first so he's probable starter
