Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Unavailable Saturday

Hathaway (upper body) will sit out Saturday's tilt versus the Hurricanes, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

The feisty Hathaway will miss his eighth consecutive game but appears to be making progress after participating in Friday's practice. The next step will be getting clearance for contact. He has produced eight goals, 10 assists and 218 hits over 60 outings this season.
