Philadelphia Flyers News
Seeler and Lucas Carlsson have been alternating games over the last month and Seeler will come out tonight vs. the Sharks after dressing for the last two games.
Gilbert comes up after Lucas Carlsson took a puck to the head on Thursday night. Gilbert has split his 2020 campaign between the AHL and NHL, collecting three points (1G / 2A) in his 20 games with the Blackhawks.
Couturier's status for Sunday's game is up in the air so the Flyers recalled Joel Farabee from Lehigh Valley (AHL) as insurance. If Couturier can't play, Claude Giroux will move to centre and Farabee will draw into the lineup.
Seeler and Lucas Carlsson continue to rotate in and out of the lineup and tonight is Seeler's chance to sit. He played 13:56 TOI in St. Louis on Tuesday.
Simmonds was acquired from the Devils on Monday and will make his debut tonight in Colorado. Simmonds is expected to start on a line with Marcus Johansson and Jeff Skinner and should see some power-play time as well. He hasn't had the best year, posting just 24 points (8G / 16A) in 61 games but could see increased usage with the Sabres.
Seeler was a healthy scratch in Dallas on Sunday but will replace Lucas Carlsson in the lineup on Tuesday. Since joining the Blackhawks, Seeler has picked up one assist, one shot and seven PIMS in three games.
New Jersey also retained 50% of Simmonds' salary. Simmonds was set to become an unrestricted free-agent on July 1 after signing a one-year deal with Devils in the off-season. He registered just eight goals and 16 assists in 61 games as a Devil.
Philadelphia will be the eighth different team Thompson has played for across his 13-year career. He registered four goals and 10 assists in 63 games with Montreal this season, playing almost exclusively on the fourth-line. He's expected to see similar usage with the Flyers.
Seeler played 12:23 TOI vs. the Predators on Friday but will be replaced by Lucas Carlsson in the lineup on Sunday afternoon. Seeler has just one assist in three games since joining the Blackhawks.
Grundstrom, 22, appeared in four straight games with the Kings but will switch spots with Martin Frk. During his time in the AHL, Grundstrom has picked up nine goals and 11 assists (20 points) in 30 games.
Seeler had one assist in 15:19 TOI in his Blackhawks debut on Sunday but will be replaced by Adam Boqvist, who returns from a shoulder injury.
Seeler was recently claimed off of waivers from the Wild and will replace Adam Boqvist, who is day-to-day with a shoulder injury. Seeler has 11 points (2G / 9A) in 99 career NHL games (all with Minnesota).
Grundstrom has spent most of the season with Ontario, where he has 20 points (9G / 11A) in 30 games. During his brief time with the Kings, he has no goals and four assists in nine games.
Seeler was a fifth-round pick in 2011 and has appeared in 99 games with the Wild since. The 26-year-old failed to record a point in six games this season and heads to Chicago to help their blueline that lost Brent Seabrook and Calvin de Haan.
Vladar served as Jaroslav Halak's backup last night but swaps spots with Maxime Lagace and heads back to the AHL.
Vladar was a third-round pick (No.75 overall) in 2015 who has gone 6-5-0 with a 1.84 GAA and .935 SV%. Vladar comes up to serve as Jaroslav Halak's backup while Tuukka Rask is on IR with an upper-body injury.
Kase played just 5:00 TOI in Saturday's loss to the Lightning. He returns to the AHL with Connor Bunnaman coming the other way to serve as the Flyers' fourth-line centre on Monday. Kase has three goals and four assists (seven points) in 29 AHL games this season.
