Emil Andrae Expected to Rejoin Flyers Lineup Monday
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Emil Andrae (upper body) looks set to rejoin the lineup on Monday in Game 5 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has been out of action since sustaining an upper-body injury in the series opener. Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported on Sunday that Andrae skated on the third defensive pairing at practice. Noah Juulsen has filled in for Andrae in the last few games and is expected to be a healthy scratch on Monday. In 61 regular-season outings, Andrae was limited to 15:20 of ice time per game, but he was effective. The 24-year-old led all Flyers defensemen with a plus-15 rating, while notching 13 points (two goals, 11 assists). He also logged 36 SOG, 58 blocks, and 68 hits.

Matvei Michkov Set to Be Scratched for Game 5
Philadelphia Flyers winger Matvei Michkov wasn't part of the team's regular four forward lines during Sunday's practice, ESPN's Greg Wyshynski reports. This suggests the Russian talent will be a healthy scratch for Monday's Game 5 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. It would be an understandable decision by Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet, as Michkov has been ineffective in the series. He has gone scoreless in four games, with only four SOG and a minus-one rating. After averaging 14:50 of ice time during the regular season, Michkov has been limited to 10:05 in the playoffs. Alex Bump, who had nine points (five goals, four assists) in 17 regular-season games, is expected to replace Michkov in the lineup on Monday.

Radko Gudas Remains Sidelined Sunday
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas (lower body) isn't an option for Game 4 against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday, Hayley Elwood of the Ducks' official site reports. The Czech veteran suffered a lower-body injury late in the regular season and hasn't played in the playoffs since logging 9:40 of action in Game 1. Drew Helleson has done a good job as his replacement on the third defensive pairing. In his first two career postseason games, Helleson has recorded one assist, two SOG, four hits, and a plus-one rating. Gudas' next chance to return will come on Tuesday night, when the series heads back to Edmonton.

Jason Dickinson a Game-Time Decision Sunday
Edmonton Oilers center Jason Dickinson (undisclosed) is considered a game-time call for Sunday's Game 4 tilt against the Anaheim Ducks, Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site reports. The 30-year-old has been a game-time decision for all three postseason games so far, playing only once. His two goals helped Edmonton to a 4-3 victory in Game 1. "I think so. I hope so," Dickinson said about his availability for Game 4 after Saturday's practice. Dickinson was banged up late in the regular season, suffering an undisclosed injury against San Jose on April 8. Josh Samanski or Curtis Lazar will make way for Dickinson if he's ready to return on Sunday night.
