Jakub Voracek (lower body) was given clearance to begin skating

Voracek (lower body) was given clearance to begin skating after meeting with doctors on Saturday, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Voracek has missed the team's last seven games, but will skate during Sunday's practice. While that certainly gives him a chance to play Tuesday, the more likely outcome is that he returns Wednesday against Chicago. The Czech playmaker has 48 points in 60 games this year, and should resume a top-six role upon his return to the lineup.
