The medical update on Claude Giroux and Sean Couturier was encouraging.
The Flyers centers skated at the team's Voorhees practice facility Sunday, and general manager Ron Hextall said both might play in Tuesday's key game in Carolina.
Couturier has missed the last nine games with a foot/ankle injury, and Hextall said he was "ahead of schedule." The Flyers are 3-3-3 in those games.
Giroux sat out Saturday's 5-4 overtime win in Toronto with a suspected head injury.
Giroux, the team's top scorer with 49 points, has a better chance to play Tuesday than Couturier. Hextall said Couturier was possible, but not probable, and he didn't know if the centers would participate in the Monday morning practice.
