Vladar will start in St. Louis on Tuesday.

Vladar will get the tail-end of Calgary's back-to-back after Dustin Wolf got the nod in Chicago on Monday. Vladar struggled his last time out, allowing four goals on 25 shots in a 5-3 loss to Utah. He has not registered a win since December 10th, and owns a disappointing .888 SV% across 19 starts this season. The Flames enter action on Tuesday at +140 on the money line.

Ersson will start Monday vs. the Panthers.

Fresh off his second shutout of the season, saving 22 shots in a 6-0 win over the Anaheim Ducks, Ersson will return to the crease for the Flyers on Monday against the Florida Panthers. The 25-year-old Ersson has had an up-and-down 2024-25 campaign, posting a 2.86 GAA and .888 SV% in 21 appearances this season (10-7-2). The Flyers enter Monday's contest as +146 home underdogs against a Panthers squad with points in three of their last four games (2-1-1).

Ersson (lower-body) will return and start vs. Dallas on Thursday.

Ersson has been out since suffering a lower-body injury on New Year's Eve but will return to the crease on Thursday against the Dallas Stars. The 25-year-old Ersson has a 3.02 GAA and .884 SV% in 19 appearances (9-6-2) but has been better lately, saving 47 of the last 48 shots in his previous two outings (2-0-0). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +140 home underdogs against a Stars squad riding a five-game winning streak.

Tomasino suffered a lower-body injury in Friday's game against the Panthers and will not return.

Tomasino went into the boards awkwardly in Friday's game against the Panthers and was unable to put any weight on his right leg as he exited the ice. We should receive an update on his status ahead of the Penguins game in Carolina on Sunday.

Kolosov will start in Vegas on Thursday.

With Samuel Ersson (lower body) sidelined, Kolosov will start for the Flyers on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Kolosov was solid relieving an injured Ersson on Tuesday, saving all seven shots he faced in a 4-0 win over the San Jose Sharks. That said, the 22-year-old Kolosov has battled adversity in his first NHL season, posting a 3.39 GAA and .872 SV% in 14 appearances (4-7-1). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +175 road underdogs against a Golden Knights squad whose six-game losing skid snapped in a 3-2 loss against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.

Vladar will start vs. Utah on Thursday.

The Flames have won three straight with Dustin Wolf between the pipes but will turn to Vladar on Thursday against the Utah Hockey Club. The 27-year-old Vladar was solid in a 3-0 losing effort to the Vegas Golden Knights in his previous outing, saving 34 of 36 shots (.944 SV%). He has a 3.02 GAA and .890 SV% in 18 games this season (6-7-5). Calgary enters Thursday's contest as +105 home underdogs against a Utah team outscored 16-6 in their last four games (0-4-0).

Ersson (lower-body) is considered day-to-day and unlikely to play on Thursday vs. Vegas.

Ersson left Tuesday's game vs. San Jose in the second period with a lower-body injury after stopping all 17 of the Sharks' shots he faced but is unfortunately unlikely to play on Thursday in Vegas. He is considered day-to-day and if he misses any period, expect Aleksei Kolosov to take over the crease in his absence.

Samuel Ersson
Ersson left Tuesday’s game with an undisclosed injury and did not return.

Ersson saved all 15 shots he faced in an eventual 2-0 win over the San Jose Sharks but exited the game after two periods due to an undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old Ersson had saved 47 of 48 shots in his last two appearances (2-0-0) leading up to his injury. The Flyers will likely provide an update on Ersson before they return to the ice on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Ersson will start in San Jose on Tuesday.

The Flyers are coming off a disappointing 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Kings and will revert to Ersson between the pipes on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks. Ersson was stellar in his most recent outing, saving 32 of 33 shots (.970 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks. That said, he has a less impressive 3.14 GAA and .880 SV% in 18 games this season (8-6-2). The Flyer enter Tuesday's contest as -168 road favorites against a Sharks club amid a seven-game losing skid (0-6-1).
