Ersson has not played much since returning from the Olympic break, limited to just one start, but he was solid in that outing, saving 22 of 24 shots (.917 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime win over the New York Rangers. That said, consistency has been an issue with Ersson, who has an ugly 3.54 GAA and .863 SV% in his last 10 appearances (3-4-1). The Flyers enter the action on Wednesday as slight +108 home underdogs against a Washington Capitals team that is coming off a 7-3 win over the Calgary Flames to snap a three-game losing streak.

Garnet Hathaway will re-enter Philadelphia's lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals, resulting in Glendening being a healthy scratch. The 36-year-old Glendening has one assist and is averaging 11:16 time-on-ice through two games with Philadelphia.

Luke Glendening will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals, allowing Hathaway to re-enter the lineup. The 34-year-old Hathaway is averaging 10:10 time-on-ice, recording two points (1G / 1A), 59 penalty minutes, and 198 hits in 53 games this season.

Thomas tallied two assists before leaving Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders in the third period due to an upper-body injury, but he should be ready to suit up when St. Louis returns to action on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 26-year-old Thomas is producing at an impressive rate after starting the 2025-26 season off slowly, scoring 12 points (5G / 7A) during a seven-game point streak.

Powell was a fifth-round pick of the Flyers in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, who has yet to make his professional debut. The 21-year-old forward spent the 2025-26 season playing collegiate hockey with Arizona State University, scoring 12 points (7G / 5A) in 34 games.

Caufield was limited to 10:27 time-on-ice in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens, leaving the game due to an illness, but is anticipated to be in the lineup when the team returns to action on Wednesday against the Ottawa Senators. The 25-year-old Caufield is pacing for career-bests in all major offensive categories this season, scoring 64 points (37G / 27A) through 63 games.

Fowler had a brief stint with Montreal earlier this season in an attempt to rejuvenate a weak crease, but the team's struggles have continued, which may have awarded Fowler another opportunity. The 21-year-old Fowler has been playing with Laval (AHL) since mid-January, but he was serviceable in limited action with Montreal, posting a 2.62 GAA and .902 SV% in 10 games (4-4-2).

Initially hopeful to be an option on Detroit's four-game road trip, Larkin's return seems to be delayed until at least March 16th, when the team returns home to host the Calgary Flames. Andrew Copp (lower body) also suffered an injury on Tuesday, adding to the Red Wings' current lack of center depth.

Already without Dylan Larkin (lower body), the Red Wings' depth at center took another hit on Tuesday, with Copp exiting Detroit's 4-3 loss to the Florida Panthers after just 10:01 time-on-ice. The 31-year-old Copp recorded an assist before leaving the game, giving him four points (0G / 4A) in his last five outings. The severity of Copp's injury remains unclear, but he is not expected to play on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Colton was limited to only 8:15 time-on-ice in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, exiting the game with an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old Colton scored a goal before leaving the game, giving him 23 points (8G / 15A) through 60 contests this season. An update on Colton should be provided before Colorado returns to action on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken.
