"Coach Dan Bylsma said he is "preparing like (winger Bill Guerin) is playing" for the Penguins tonight against the Flyers at Philadelphia.

Guerin did not practice Wednesday at Southpointe, but he walked without a noticeable limp after practice. His right skate boot was hit by a puck late in the third period of a win against the Flyers on Tuesday night, and Guerin did not finish the game.

» Forward Max Talbot's status for tonight will depend on Guerin's availability, as Bylsma indicated that winger Eric Godard would dress against the Flyers. Godard is the club's top fighter, and many Penguins players said they expect a rough and physical game from the Flyers, who are on a 3-11-0 stretch and are 2-5-0 under new coach Peter Laviolette."
