Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Alexander Nikishin (concussion) is a game-time decision on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. He reportedly has one more test to pass to clear the NHL's concussion protocol. Nikishin sustained his concussion last Saturday in Game 4 against the Ottawa Senators. He wore a regular jersey at Friday's practice, a good sign that he will be available for the second-round opener. In Round 1, Nikishin failed to register a point but contributed five blocks and six hits in four games. He's filling a third-pairing role on defense and skating with the second power-play unit.--Taavi Pailk
