The Flyers play the Islanders at home tonight, trying to extend their home unbeaten streak to 8 games.
Antero Niittymaki will get the start in goal.
Three players did not practice yesterday. Gagne had what was apparently tightness in his midsection, Michal Handzus was still nursing a sore elbow, and Robert Esche continued to have tenderness in his groin.
The Flyers won the first meeting with the Islanders 5-1 in Philly almost a month ago. The Islanders are coming off a 4-1 win over the Devils on Tuesday.
