Flyers' Umberger likely to be healthy scratch against Dallas

THOUGH DAVE Hakstol wouldn't confirm specifics on who exactly will be in Tuesday's lineup, observing practice provided all the necessary confirmation that need not be released from the lips of the reticent first-year NHL coach.

When the Flyers finally return to the ice following a five-day break from game action, a fully healthy R.J. Umberger appears destined to be a healthy scratch against Dallas.

Umberger missed time last week with an undisclosed upper-body injury and returned to the ice Friday, participating in about half of the day's practice. The Flyers were off Saturday, and Umberger returned as a full participant Sunday and Monday.
