Philadelphia Flyers News

Ersson will start on Tuesday vs. San Jose.

Ersson has been inconsistent lately but will return to the crease for the fourth straight game on Tuesday. In his last seven games (3-3-1), Ersson has allowed two or fewer goals five times but also allowed four or more twice. He had a forgettable performance in his last games, allowing four goals in 15 shots (.733 SV%) in an eventual 7-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. That said, the Flyers have a favourable matchup as -320 home favourites against the San Jose Sharks.

Konecny (upper body) will return on Thursday vs. Florida.

Konecny has missed the Flyers' previous six games but will return to the lineup on Thursday in Florida. It is a much-welcomed return as Konecny leads Philadelphia in both goals (27) and points (54) while leading all forwards in average TOI (19:54). He should resume his role in the Flyers' top-six and continue to be their main scoring option on powerplays.

Ersson will start on Thursday in Florida.

Ersson will take over the Flyers' crease for a second-straight game as he looks to avenge a 24-save (.960 SV%) overtime loss to St. Louis in his last start. The 24-year-old rookie has struggled since taking over the Flyers' starting position full-time, with his 17-12-5 record, 2.57 GAA and .899 SV%. He draws the unfortunate task of taking on the red-hot Florida Panthers, who are in the midst of a six-game winning streak and have won 12 of their last 13 contests.

Konecny (upper body) is a game-time decision on Thursday vs. Florida.

Konecny has not played since February 21st, missing six games with an upper-body injury, but appears to be nearing a return after being a full participant at practice on Wednesday. Before his injury, Konecy was producing at a blistering pace, scoring 12 points (5G / 7A) during a seven-game point streak. The Flyers return to the ice on Thursday against the Florida Panthers.

Philadelphia has signed Nick Seeler to a four-year, $10.8 million ($2,700,000) contract extension.

Seeler's name was circulating through trade rumours recently, but the Flyers opted to keep the 30-year-old defenseman after trading Sean Walker to the Colorado Avalanche. Seeler exited Monday's 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues in the third period after playing 16:57 and is currently on injured reserve on a week-to-week basis.

Seeler (lower body) has been placed on Injured Reserve and is considered out week-to-week.

Seeler exited Monday's 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues in the third period after playing 16:57. His impending absence is a tough loss for the Flyers as he has been an integral part of their defensive core and has also been a name actively circulating through trade rumours.
