SHARKS (5-9-2) at FLYERS (5-8-2)

7 p.m. ET; NBCSP, NBCSCA

Sharks projected lineup

Mikael Granlund — Macklin Celebrini — Tyler Toffoli
William Eklund — Alexander Wennberg — Fabian Zetterlund

Injured: Logan Couture (groin), Marc-Edouard Vlasic (upper body), Jake Walman (upper body)

Status report

• The Sharks did not hold a morning skate after their 1-0 win at the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. Smith will play after being scratched Sunday as part of his development plan.
• Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said the lineup will be a game-time decision. That includes Celebrini, who has played three games since returning from a hip injury that sidelined him 12 games. When asked if Celebrini had built-in development days where he would miss games like Smith, Warsofsky said, “They both have different plans. I’ll leave it at that.”
• Walman will miss his fourth consecutive game, and the defenseman is considered day to day.
