Bratt is on the ice for warmups; expected to return to the lineup on Sunday.
Bratt will not play Saturday due to a non-COVID related illness.
The Bruins placed Curtis Lazar on the COVID-19 protocol list.
The Bruins are already postponed through the Christmas break, so moving Lazar likely doesn't change much for his status.
Willman was added to the COVID-19 protocol list.
Willman entered COVID-19 protocol alongside a staff member and will not be available for Saturday's game. Luckily for the Flyers, they will get Joel Farabee back from injury to replace Willman.

With a bunch of Hurricanes forwards in COVID-19 protocol, Noesen is set up to make his Hurricanes debut on Thursday. The 28-year-old veteran has 54 points (31G / 23A) in 205 career NHL games with the Ducks, Devils, Penguins, Sharks and Maple Leafs.
