Philadelphia has acquired David Jiricek from Philadelphia for Bobby Brink.

Minnesota acquired David Jiricek for a hefty price tag last season, but he did not materialize as they hoped and pivoted this season, trading him to Philadelphia for Bobby Brink. The 22-year-old Jiricek has had trouble establishing himself at the NHL level, as evidenced by his zero points in 25 games with Minnesota this season.

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.
