Schenn (upper-body) is ahead of his two-week timetable.
Schenn was injured in the Flyers win over the Avs on Saturday and was given a two-week timetable to return. He was on the ice prior to the Flyers practice on Tuesday and is ahead of schedule in his return.
Schenn will miss two weeks with a shoulder injury.
Schenn suffered the shoulder injury on a hit from Avs’ forward Nathan MacKinnon, who was ejected on the play. MacKinnon will not be suspended, but the injury to Schenn re-opens the door for Carlo Colaiacovo to return to the lineup after being a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Stars coach Lindy Ruff said he'll skate both Jamie Oleksiak and Kevin Connauton in warm-ups, and then decide who plays vs. Edmonton.
Oleksiak, 20, was the 14th overall pick in 2011 and appeared in 16 games with the Stars last season. He posted two assists and a minus-5 rating in his first NHL go-around. He is a monster at 6-foot-7, 241 lbs. but is a tremendous athlete and brings size and physicality to the Stars blueline.

The Stars have recalled Jamie Oleksiak from Texas (AHL).
Oleksiak has three goals and two assists in 22 games with Texas this season. He appeared in 16 games on Dallas' blueline last season where he had two assists and a minus-5 rating. He will be fighting with Kevin Connauton for playing time.
Gallagher (flu) will play tonight.
Gallagher missed last night's game because of the flu, but will play tonight vs. the Rangers. He has eight goals and 12 points in 19 games. Ryan White comes out of the lineup.
Gallagher (illness) will be a game-time decision again tonight.
Gallagher did not play on Friday because of the flu, but could be ready to go tonight. If he plays, Ryan White would come out of the lineup.
Brendan Gallagher will not play tonight.
Gallagher was a gametime decision due to illness so this should be a short-term thing.
Gallagher (flu) is questionable tonight.
Gallagher did no participate in the morning skate because of the flu. If he can't go expect George Parros to slide into the lineup and Rene Bourque or Max Pacioretty to move up alongside Lars Eller and Alex Galchenyuk. Consider Gallagher as a game-time decision.
Line Change
Luke Schenn will be a healthy scratch tonight vs. New Jersey.
Schenn has one goal and a minus-7 rating in 12 games this season. Hal Gill will make his Flyers debut with Schenn taking a seat.

The guess is Aaron Rome (foot) is close to returning.
Luke Schenn will play tonight.
Schenn sat out the Flyers last game because of the flu but he will be back in the lineup tonight when the Flyers take on the Devils. Schenn is a solid defensive defenseman, so he is a much more useful hockey player than he is fantasy player.

Appears Luke Schenn will be a scratch for the Flyers.
Late news on Schenn being scratch. He has the flu.
#Habs Brendan Gallagher (concussion) skated today but is yet to be cleared for contact by the team doctors; he will not play tonight vs. NYI
Once Gallagher gets cleared for contact it won't be long before he is back in the Canadiens lineup. The Habs are first in the East right now and will only get better with the return on Gallagher who has 8 points and is a +7 in 13 games this season.
#habs Brendan Gallagher has a concussion and won't play tomorrow.
This is a tough break for Gallagher who has had a great start to his NHL career. He has 5 G and 3 A with a +7 in his first 13 games. Concussion's are tricky so there is no timetable for his return.

Scribes in EDM for Oilers-Leafs will correct me if I am in error, but hearing some chatter that Luke Schenn will be scratched tonite.
