Konecny will return to the lineup on Monday after missing the last three games due to an upper-body injury. 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 is coming off his weakest performance in recent weeks, allowing three goals on 23 shots (.870 SV%), but still salvaged a 4-3 shootout win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 28-year-old Czech goalie has continued to be a steadying presence between the pipes for the Flyers since returning from the Olympic break, posting an excellent 1.96 GAA and .924 SV% in five outings (3-2-0). The Flyers enter Monday's contest as -138 home favourites against a New York Rangers team they defeated 3-2 in overtime less than two weeks ago.
Edward was drafted by the Boston Bruins in the seventh round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 22-year-old defenseman has yet to play an NHL game and has split time this season between the Providence Bruins (AHL) and the Maine Mariners (ECHL).
The Stars addressed their pre-deadline need for a depth scorer, acquiring Michael Bunting from the Nashville Predators. Bunting has had success in his career playing alongside high-end talent, notably during his time with Toronto when he played with Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews, and could be poised for a top-line role in Dallas with Wyatt Johnston and Mikko Rantanen, who is currently out with a lower-body injury. The 30-year-old Bunting averaged 14:48 time-on-ice and scored 31 points (13G / 18A) in 61 games with Nashville this season. He is expected to make his team debut on Sunday against the Chicago Blackhawks.
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.
The Maple Leafs will unsurprisingly turn to Woll between the pipes for the tail-end of their back-to-back on Thursday. Woll struggled in his last start, surrendering five goals on 28 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Senators on Saturday. Like the rest of the Maple Leafs, the 27-year-old netminder has endured an up-and-down season, but he has still managed to post a respectable .906 SV% across 27 starts. Woll and the Leafs enter action on Thursday at +115 on the money line.

Wilson was a fourth-round pick of the Florida Panthers in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft that has spent most of his career in the AHL. The 34-year-old forward has 16 points (4G / 12A) and 99 penalty minutes in 51 games this season with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL).
Konecny is battling an upper-body injury and will miss a second consecutive game on Thursday when the Flyers match up against the Utah Mammoth. 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.
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 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.
