With 16 games left on the season, the Flyers don't want to take any unnecessary risk.
Scott Laughton, who's out since March 10 because of a concussion, continues his rehab but there's a possibility that he could not return to play until next season, according to Mike Yeo.
The Flyers interim head coach said that there wasn't a setback, but they prefer to be cautious.
Laughton has been an important piece of this year's Flyers edition. He really took a big step this season, as some people were seeing him as a possible candidate for the team's captaincy.
Before his injury, the center was having the best season of his career, registering 28 points in 54 games.
