In addition, Panaccio tweeted that Claude Giroux has a cold (originally reported to be an upper-body injury) and will not be playing today. Harry Zolnierczyck, who was recalled from the Phantoms recently, will be playing in place of Giroux.

Also, Flyers beat-writer for the South Jersey Courier- Post tweeted that the Penguins will be without forwards James Neal and Steve Sullivan.
