Gagne, who has missed the last 23 games after being hit on November 7 in a game against Pittsburgh, and four games earlier in the year after experiencing dizziness following a game on October 27, was asked if he could come back prior to the Flyers-Devils game on Friday night (7:00 p.m., Comcast SportsNet).

“You never know,” he said. “If you look at this weekend, I’d have to feel very, very good.

“It might be more realistic for next week or weekend.”

John Stevens also called Gagne “doubtful” for either Friday or Saturday in Toronto.

“I think there’s a chance [for Friday] but it’s a remote chance. I would think next week is a more realistic target.”
