Chabot (undisclosed) will play in Pittsburgh on Monday.

Chabot exited Saturday's 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils after 15:59 time-on-ice because of an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old defenseman has 22 points (5G / 17A) in 39 games this season, and his status for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins is uncertain.

Ersson (lower-body) missed practice on Monday and is considered day-to-day.

Flyers' Head Coach Rick Tocchet insisted that Ersson's injury is not too concerning, but he will likely remain sidelined on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals. Philadelphia recalled Aleksei Kolosov from Lehigh Valley (AHL) to serve as Dan Vladar's backup during Ersson's absence.

Ullmark will start in Pittsburgh on Monday.

Ullmark returned from a five-week absence due to personal reasons in Ottawa's previous game and was tremendous, saving 26 of 27 shots (.963 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. The 32-year-old Ullmark was having a rough season before his leave of absence, posting a 2.95 GAA and .881 SV% in 28 games (14-9-5). The team hopes he can build on Saturday's solid performance when he returns to the crease on Monday, entering the game as slight -104 road underdogs against a Pittsburgh Penguins team on a six-game winning streak.

Halliday (upper-body) has a chance to return vs. New Jersey on Saturday.

Halliday has not played since a tremendous outing on Sunday in a 7-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights, scoring a career-high three points (2G / 1A) before exiting the game after just 7:39 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old Halliday has 10 points (3G / 7A) in 21 games and is hopeful to play on Saturday against the New Jersey Devils.

Ersson suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's game in Boston and will not return.

It's unclear when exactly Ersson suffered the injury, but he was not able to join his teammates for the start of the third period of Thursday's game. He surrendered five goals on 15 shots through two periods of play before exiting the contest. We should get an update on his status ahead of Philadelphia's game against the Kings on Saturday.

Ersson will start in Boston on Thursday.

The Flyers will turn to Ersson between the pipes for the 22nd time this season when they travel to Boston on Thursday. Ersson was tagged with the loss in his last outing, allowing four goals on 23 shots in a 4-0 shutout loss to the Islanders on Monday. The 26-year-old netminder is in the midst of another disappointing season, registering an .860 SV% and 3.39 GAA through 23 appearances. Ersson and the Flyers enter action on Thursday at +125 on the money line.

Ersson will start in Boston on Thursday.

The Flyers will turn to Ersson on the tail end of a back-to-back, desperate for a win after losing 5-3 last night to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 26-year-old Ersson allowed four goals on 23 shots (.826 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 4-0 loss to the New York Islanders, but has played better lately, salvaging points in three of his last four starts (2-1-1). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +133 road underdogs against a Boston Bruins team with points in four straight games (3-0-1).

Bourgault will draw back into Ottawa's lineup vs. Colorado on Wednesday.

Bourgault was a first-round pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and made his NHL debut earlier this season, playing one game with Ottawa. The 23-year-old forward has 37 points (14G / 23A) in 43 games with Belleville (AHL) this season.

Xavier Bourgault
Foegele will draw back into Los Angeles' lineup in Detroit on Tuesday.

Foegele did not play in the Kings' previous game, but he will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 29-year-old Foegele had a tremendous first season with Los Angeles in 2024-25, scoring a career-high 46 points (24G / 22A) in 82 games, but has followed it up with a sluggish 2025-26, scoring only eight points (6G / 2A) through 41 games.

Warren Foegele
Ullmark (personal) is still not ready to return to game action with Ottawa but is getting closer to starting.

Ullmark dressed for the first time in nearly a month, serving as Ottawa's backup goalie on Sunday in their 7-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. He is not ready to return to action yet, but given that Mads Sogaard was assigned to Belleville (AHL) earlier today, his return is likely imminent.

Linus Ullmark
Halliday (upper-body) missed practice on Tuesday after leaving Sunday's game vs. Vegas and is considered day-to-day.

Halliday had a tremendous outing in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights, scoring a career-high three points (2G / 1A), but exited the game after just 7:39 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. It's unclear what his status will be for tomorrow's game against the Colorado Avalanche but at the moment he is unlikely to dress.

Ersson will start vs. the Islanders on Monday.

Ersson was having an abysmal season, but has turned things around in recent games after being thrust into the starters' role because of a Dan Vladar (lower body) injury. The 26-year-old Ersson has helped his team record a point in three straight games (2-0-1), posting a 2.98 GAA and .897 SV%, a stark contrast from the 3.34 GAA and .855 SV% he sported in his previous 19 outings (6-9-4). The Flyers enter Monday's contest as -116 home favorites against a New York Islanders team that has been outscored 9-1 during a two-game losing streak (0-2-0).
