Pronger likely out for Game Two

April 15, 2011 - 11:14 AM

VORHEES, N.J. -- We've already got an early verdict on perhaps the key reason the media has all piled across the Walt Whitman Bridge to the Flyers' Skate Zone: Chris Pronger is not going to play in Game Two.

The Flyers defenseman just completed a 50-minute skate here but did only one stickhandling drill about halfway through the session. He had extremely limited puck work, taking it one time and pushing it against the boards before skating away and not touching it again.

The Sabres are set to practice in the 11:30 range and the Flyers will go at noon.
