Tim Panaccio (PhiladelphiaInquirer/Daily News):

Hatcher, Gagne update. Defenseman Derian Hatcher won’t play tonight against Montreal. He still has fluid in his right knee, even though it is being drained. He’s not alarmed but the surgery has not fixed his problem completely. . . . Winger Simon Gagne (concussion) skated again and reported more progress and no symptoms.
