Status report

Fabbro will be a game-time decision but is expected to make his season debut after missing the first nine games of the season because of an upper-body injury. He was a full participant in the Blue Jackets' optional morning skate.

The Flyers held an optional morning skate. York was activated from injured reserve and will play after missing eight games because of an upper-body injury.

Ristolainen was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and is expected to miss at least two weeks. The defenseman played against the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday but reaggravated the upper-body injury that had sidelined him the previous nine games.

Gaucher was recalled from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League on Tuesday after the forward was sent down Sunday. Bunting is likely to play after being scratched the previous two games.
