When asked Sunday about Andrew Ladd's availability for Game 2 the next day, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville effectively said wait until tomorrow.
Well, it's tomorrow. And though Ladd did take the ice Monday morning before the rest of his teammates, he won't be in the lineup tonight against the Flyers.

"Nothing's changed, he's not playing tonight," Quenneville said. "But we expect him to (in the series)."
