Gostisbehere will be a healthy scratch Thursday against the Lightning, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

"Ghost" wasn't especially impressive in his first two NHL games, going a collective minus-2 with no points. Brandon Manning will take his spot in the lineup Thursday, and if he performs well, it could mean a longer-term banishment to the press box for Gostisbehere.
