Foote last appeared in an NHL contest nearly a year ago on March 24th, 2023 and has suffered a setback after being activated from injured reserve on Monday. The 23-year-old left-winger originally suffered his injury in pre-season and spent a week on a conditioning loan with Utica (AHL) before being activated.
Couturier, the Flyers captain, joins a group of notable veteran healthy scratches on Tuesday including Cam Atkinson and Marc Staal. After a decent start to the season with 30 points (10G / 20A) in his first 41 games, Couturier has struggled immensely with only six points (1G / 5A) in his last 23 contests.
Simmonds was a second-round pick of the Los Angeles Kings in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft and announced an end to his 15-year career on Monday. The 35-year-old SImmonds most recently played with the Toronto Maple Leafs last season, being limited to only 18 games, scoring two points (0G / 2A). He ends his career with 1037 games and 526 points (263G / 263A), including two 30-goal campaigns.
Vladar will get the surprise nod on Tuesday after Jacob Markstrom was scratched from his previously scheduled start due to a lower-body injury. Vladar will be hoping to bounce back from a rough performance on Sunday, when he surrendered seven goals in a blowout loss to the Hurricanes. Vladar owns an underwhelming .885 SV% on the season to go along with an 8-8-2 record. Things won't get any easier from him on Tuesday as he's set to take on Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche.

Acciari returned to the lineup two weeks ago after a multi-week absence due to an injury, and after playing six games, was on the sidelines in the Penguins' last contest. The Penguins' bottom-six forward has one assist, six shots, and nine hits in his last six games.
Woll will get the nod for the tail-end of Toronto's back-to-back on Thursday after Ilya Samsonov got the nod in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime victory over the Sabres. It's the second time in as many games that Woll will face the Bruins. He surrendered four goals on 27 shots in a 4-1 loss to Boston on Monday. It was just his second start since returning from the ankle injury he suffered in early December. Woll and the Maple Leafs are +125 underdogs heading into Boston on Thursday.
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.
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.
