Previously ruled out, general manager Ron Hextall indicated Wednesday that MacDonald (head) has been medically cleared to play and will be a game-time decision for the evening's contest against the Flyers, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

MacDonald was likely suffering from a minor concussion but has apparently passed all necessary hurdles more quickly than expected. The 29-year-old blueliner has spent time at both professional levels this season but has seen some success (seven points, all assists) in limited action (24 games) with the Flyers. It's quite possible his status won't be confirmed until pregame warmups, so it will be worth checking back later in the day.
