The 28-year-old forward is coming off a two-point performance (1G / 1A) in a 3-1 win over the Boston Bruins, giving him 18 points (9G / 9A) in his last 13 games.

Vladar will start vs. Utah on Thursday.

The Flyers are on the outside looking in, battling for a Wild Card spot, with Vladar doing everything in his power to help his team. The 28-year-old Czech goalie has returned from representing Team Czechia at the Olympics with a vengeance, doing what he has for most of the season, posting a stellar 1.64 GAA and .942 SV% in three games (2-1-0). He has allowed two or fewer goals in five straight games (3-1-1). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +113 home underdogs against a Utah Mammoth team coming off a 3-2 win against the Washington Capitals.

Seeler (lower-body) will be a game-time decision vs. Utah on Thursday.

Seeler was limited to 6:01 time-on-ice in yesterday's 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, exiting the game early due to a lower-body injury. That said, Seeler's injury is not overly concerning and could return to the lineup as soon as Thursday against the Utah Mammoth. The 32-year-old defenseman is averaging 18:21 time-on-ice and has eight points (2G / 6A) in 60 games this season.

Ersson will start Thursday in New York.

Ersson will get the tail-end of Philadelphia's back-to-back on Thursday after serving as Dan Vladar's backup in last night's loss to the Capitals. Ersson struggled in his last start way back on January 29th, allowing five goals on 20 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Bruins. The 26-year-old has been amongst the worst goaltenders in the league this season, posting an ugly .856 SV% and 3.51 GAA across 24 appearances. The Flyers enter action on Thursday at +120 on the money line.
