Philadelphia Flyers News

Vladar was off to a rough start in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, allowing two goals on five shots, but did not get the chance to redeem himself, leaving the game towards the end of the first period because of an undisclosed injury. The 28-year-old Vladar has arguably been Philadelphia's most valuable player this season, posting a 2.46 GAA and .905 SV% in 28 games (16-7-4). Vladar's placement on injured reserve is retroactive to January 14th.

Still without Dan Vladar (undisclosed), Ersson will return to the crease for the Flyers on Monday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Flyers have relied heavily on Vladar and now find themselves on a six-game losing streak without him (0-5-1). The 26-year-old Ersson has an abysmal 4.02 GAA and .792 SV% in his last five outings (0-5-0). The Flyers enter Monday's contest as +191 road underdogs against a Golden Knights team that has scored four or more goals in six of their last seven games (7-0-0).

With Ondrej Palat (illness) returning to the lineup, Glendenning will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 36-year-old Glendenning has played all 48 games for the Devils this season. He has zero goals and four assists.

The 28-year-old Vladar has arguably been Philadelphia's most valuable player this season, posting a 2.46 GAA and .905 SV% in 28 games (16-7-4). Samuel Ersson has struggled this season and carried that into a 6-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. Luckily for the Flyers, Vladar's injury does not appear to be a long-term concern, so they shouldn't have to rely on Ersson for an extended period.

Nicolas Deslauriers will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Barkey to re-enter the lineup against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 20-year-old Barkey is in his first NHL season and has three points (1G / 2A) in 11 games.

Ersson has struggled this season and lost the trust of the Flyers' coaching staff, but with Dan Vladar (undisclosed) sidelined, he could have an opportunity to earn some more playing time, starting with Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 26-year-old Ersson has lost seven of his last eight outings (1-5-2), posting an abysmal 3.63 GAA and .840 SV%. The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +149 road underdogs against the Penguins.

With Dan Vladar (undisclosed) sidelined on Thursday and in the process of being re-evaluated, the Flyers have recalled Kolosov from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL). The 24-year-old Kolosov has spent most of the season in the AHL, but was solid in two appearances with the Flyers earlier this season (0-1-0), posting a 1.62 GAA and .929 SV%.

Ristolainen was a surprise absence on Wednesday, as the Flyers did not announce his absence prior to warmups. His vacancy on the Flyers' blue-line makes room for the return of Jamie Drysdale (upper-body).

Drysdale exited last Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks after only 5:56 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. He was placed on Injured Reserve and will return to the lineup on Wednesday when the Flyers face off against the Buffalo Sabres. The 23-year-old defenseman has 18 points (3G / 15A) in 41 games this season.

Vladar has lost two games in a row (0-1-1), a rarity for the Czech goalie this season, but he will return to the crease on Wednesday, hoping to avoid losing three consecutive games for the first time this season. The 28-year-old Vladar allowed four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, the first time he has allowed more than three goals in over a month. Vladar has a 2.42 GAA and .907 SV% in 27 games this season (16-7-4). The Flyers enter Wednesday's contest as +123 home underdogs against a Sabres team that is 13-2-0 in their last 15 games, but is 3-2-0 in their last five.

Nicolas Deslauriers will draw back into Philadelphia's lineup on Wednesday, sending Barkey to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 20-year-old Barkey is in his first NHL season and has three points (1G / 2A) in 11 games.
