Philadelphia Flyers News

Kolsov appeared to suffer the injury during today's morning skate and has been ruled out for tonight's game as a result. The 22-year-old Kolosov has a 3.92 GAA and .863 SV% through three games (0-3-0) and his potential absence from the team makes the crease murky for a Flyers squad that is already without Samuel Ersson (lower body).

The Flyers will be forced to turn to the Fedotov tonight after Aleksei Kolosov was ruled out due to a lower-body injury. Philadelphia also signed goaltender Kyle Konin to an amateur tryout and he will serve as the team's emergency back-up goalie on Thursday. Fedotov has not fared well in his limited action so far this season, posting an 0-3-0 record to go along with an .821 SV% and a 5.35 GAA. He draws a brutal assignment tonight as the Flyers enter action as sizable underdogs at +175.

Ivan Fedotov will likely draw in as the netminder for the Flyers on Thursday, with the possibility of an EBUG serving as his backup. That said, fantasy owners will likely need to wait until warmups for a Flyers' goalie confirmation given the unusual circumstances. The 22-year-old Kolosov has a 3.92 GAA and .863 SV% through three games (0-3-0) and his potential absence from the team makes the crease murky for a Flyers squad that is already without Samuel Ersson (lower body).

Michkov is among the rookie scoring leaders, with 10 points (4G / 6A) in 13 games, but will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Anthony Richard to make his season debut. Michkov recorded an assist in his previous outing but was held off the scoresheet in four straight before that.

Richard played nine games with the Boston Bruins last season, scoring three points (1G / 2A), but has primarily been an AHL player since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft by the Nashville Predators. The 27-year-old Richard has nine points (4G / 5A) in seven games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) this season). Rookie phenom Matvei Michkov will be a healthy scratch on Thursday to accommodate Richard's entry into the Flyers lineup.

Richard played nine games with the Boston Bruins last season, scoring three points (1G / 2A), but has primarily been an AHL player since being drafted in the fourth-round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft by the Nashville Predators. The 27-year-old Richard has nine points (4G / 5A) in seven games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) this season).

Gilbert and Connor Clifton were surprise additions to Buffalo's lineup on Tuesday, with their additions not being announced prior to warmups. Mattias Samuelsson and Henri Jokiharju will both be healthy scratches in their place.

Ryan Poehling is away from the team for personal reasons, allowing Deslauriers to re-enter the Flyers' lineup for the first time since October 27th. The 33-year-old Deslauriers has one point (0G / 1A), five penalty minutes, and nine hits through four games this season.

Veteran Erik Johnson will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes, allowing Zamula to re-enter the lineup. The 24-year-old Zamula has two points (0G / 2A) while averaging 18:19 time-on-ice through eight games this season.

With Samuel Ersson (lower-body) sidelined, the Flyers will turn to Kolosov between the pipes on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Despite an 0-2-2 record to start his NHL career, Kolosov was serviceable in his most recent outing, replacing Ersson midway through the first period and continuing to save 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in an eventual 3-0 loss to the Boston Bruins. That said, the Flyers have allowed 44 goals this season, fifth most in the league, and enter Tuesday's contest against the Hurricanes as significant +258 road underdogs.

York has not played the last five games due to an upper-body injury but could draw back into the lineup on the Flyers' upcoming road trip, which begins on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 23-year-old York is averaging 22:56 time-on-ice and has three points (2G / 1A) through seven games this season.

Ersson played only 7:36 time-on-ice, exiting in the first period of Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Boston Bruins with a lower-body injury. The Flyers' crease will likely be shared by Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov in Ersson's absence. Ersson was riding a three-game winning streak before his injury, saving 74 of his last 80 shots faced (.925 SV%).

Ersson allowed one goal on 21 shots in the Flyers win over the Blues on Thursday. Ersson has won three in a row while posting a 2.00 GAA and .917 SV%. He draws a pretty solid matchup this afternoon against a Bruins team that has the seventh-fewest goals per game (2.64) this season. Still, the Flyers are +102 home underdogs.

Most teams that started the 2024-25 season by alternating goalies have geared away to the hotter hand, but in their 11th game of the season, the Flames will keep that trend alive and turn to Vladar between the pipes for his sixth start. The 27-year-old Vladar has been serviceable, albeit unspectacular, recording a 2-2-1 record with a 3.18 GAA and .895 SV%. The Flames, riding a four-game losing skid (0-4-0), enter Friday's contest against the New Jersey Devils, winners of two straight, as +151 home underdogs.
