  • Flyers' Rasmus Ristolainen: Out with upper-body injury

    Ristolainen (upper body) is doubtful Saturday against the Hurricanes.

    Ristolainen missed Thursday's game against the Lightning with the injury. He has four goals and 19 points in 63 games this season. Egor Zamula replaced Ristolainen on Thursday and will likely remain in the lineup Saturday.

  • Flyers' Samuel Ersson: First win in last five starts

    Ersson made 17 saves through overtime and four more in the shootout in a 4-3 SO win over Tampa Bay on Thurday.

    It was Ersson's first win in his last five games (1-2-1). He has been hung out to dry by his team in a lot of those contests, and he has allowed 19 goals in those five outings. Ersson may be talented, but he's a rough activation this season. He's 19-12-4 with a 2.96 GAA and .888 save percentage with two shutouts.

  • Flyers' Ryan Poehling: Two points snap 12-game drought

    Poehling scored a goal and added an assist in a 4-3 shootout win over the Lightning on Thursday.

    Poehling found himself alone in the slot with the puck, and he deked around Jonas Johansson in tight with a backhand. The points snapped a 12-game scoring drought for the pivot. It's worth noting that Poehling and line mate Olle Lycksell got a huge boost when Bobby Brink was shifted to their line. The trio put up three goals and four assists, and were the best line on the ice for the Flyers. They won't often have big games like this one, and the team is still going to struggle. But it's nice to see Poehling's confidence grow through the game. He has five goals, 12 assists and 50 shots in 53 games this season, so his value is limited.

  • Flyers' Olle Lycksell: Three points in last two games

    Lycksell had two assists Thursday in a 4-3 shootout win over Tampa Bay.

    Lycksell really benefited from playing with Bobby Brink, who had a three-point game after being shifted to play with him and Ryan Poehling. He has three assists in his last two games, but his fantasy value remains very limited. Lycksell is a decent role player in the bottom six, but his game is relatively quiet. He doesn't deliver much offense, and he also doesn't offer much by way of secondary categories (four blocks, three hits and five shots; nine games).

  • Flyers' Bobby Brink: First two-goal game this season

    Brink scored two goals and added an assist in a 4-3 shootout win over the Lightning on Thursday.

    Brink's outburst came after head coach John Tortorella shifted him onto a line with Ryan Poehling and Olle Lycksell for the first time this season. He'd been skating with Tyson Foerster and Noah Cates for the last few months, and that trio had been outstanding. But Torts wanted to see if he could light a fire under Travis Konecny by putting him with Cates and Foerster. Instead, the fire got lit under Brink, who had his first two-goal game of the season. He also scored two against the Wild on Oct. 26, 2023. The game was Brink's second big offensive outburst in his last nine games (three goals, six assists). But seven of those points (three goals, four assists) came in just two games. Brink has a ton of skill, but at 5-foot-8 and 169 pounds, he's going to struggle to put up enough fantasy value as a third-line winger to be relevant.

  • Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Still out Thursday

    Hathaway (upper body) won't be in the lineup Thursday versus the Lightning, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Hathaway will miss his seventh straight game with the injury. There's no expected timeline in place for his return currently, so he is likely to be doubtful Saturday versus the Hurricanes.

  • Flyers' Rasmus Ristolainen: Not playing Thursday

    Ristolainen is "banged up" and will not play versus Tampa Bay on Thursday, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

    Ristolainen has four goals, 15 assists, 97 hits and 94 blocked shots over 63 contests this season. He was pointless in his last six games. Look for Egor Zamula to enter the lineup for Ristolainen against the Lightning.

  • Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Tending twine Thursday

    Ersson will patrol the home crease versus Tampa Bay on Thursday, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

    Ersson has really struggled over his last four starts, allowing 16 goals on 89 shots (.820 save percentage). Ersson is 18-12-4 with a 2.97 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 37 appearances this season. The Lightning are second in NHL scoring, generating 3.50 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Flyers' Olle Lycksell: First point of season

    Lycksell notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Senators.

    The helper was Lycksell's first point of the campaign, and it came on a Jamie Drysdale tally in the second period. The 25-year-old Lycksell has a chance to secure his place in the lineup following the Flyers' trades to send away Scott Laughton and Andrei Kuzmenko at last week's deadline. Even if he sticks on a regular basis, Lycksell is in a bottom-six role, so his fantasy upside is minimal.

  • Flyers' Cam York: Bounces back after scratch

    York recorded an assist and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Senators.

    York was scratched Saturday versus the Kraken, and it appears to have fired him up a bit. He ended a seven-game point drought with his helper Tuesday, and he has four hits over two games since he sat out. The 24-year-old blueliner has had a mediocre season with 14 points, 57 shots on net, 99 blocked shots, 41 hits and a minus-6 rating over 51 appearances. Head coach John Tortorella is known to make young players sit if their level of performance dips below his expected standard, so York will need to tighten up his game to avoid future trips to the press box.

  • Flyers' Rodrigo Abols: Goal scorer living the dream

    Abols scored a goal in a 5-2 loss to the Senators on Tuesday.

    His goal from the left face-off circle near the mid-point of the second knotted the game 2-2. Abols is a 29-year-old, first-year player from Latvia who is living the dream as a seventh-round long shot (184th overall). He has two goals, one assist and 12 hits in 12 games this season. Abols is a nice story, but he doesn't have fantasy value right now.

  • Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Three goals in last six games

    Drysdale scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-2 loss to Ottawa.

    Drysdale's backhand from the slot bounced off Anton Forsberg and in to tie the game 1-1 early in the second period. He has struggled to find his footing this season, like so many of the Flyers. Drysdale has just 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in 54 games, but he has three goals in his last six outings (nine blocks, six shots).

  • Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Bad odor to game

    Fedotov made 19 saves Tuesday in a 5-2 loss to Ottawa.

    Fedotov had been playing well lately, but Tuesday was a truly rough outing, and we don't know if he can regain his recent solid streak. Fedotov allowed four goals, and the third one had a horrible odor -- so much so that cameras caught coach John Tortorella rubbing his forehead in quiet frustration. Philly has a tough stretch of games coming up with Tampa Bay (twice), Carolina, Washington, Dallas and Toronto in its path over the next two weeks. You would be wise to make Fedotov and Samuel Ersson spectators over this span.

  • Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Out again Tuesday

    Hathaway (upper body) will not play Tuesday versus the Senators, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Hathaway is set to miss his sixth straight game, and there's been no update on when he's expected to return. Nicolas Deslauriers remains in the lineup in Hathaway's absence. The Flyers' next game is Thursday versus the Lightning.

  • Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: In goal Tuesday

    Fedotov will get the starting nod at home against the Senators on Tuesday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

    Fedotov will make his fourth appearance in the Flyers' crease over the team's last six outings. In his prior three outings, the 28-year-old netminder is 1-2-0 despite a stellar 1.73 GAA and .938 save percentage. If he can get some offensive support, Fedotov's recent performances would have him set up well to secure his sixth win of the season.

  • Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Receiving more ice time

    Foerster recorded an assist, two hits and a plus-1 rating in a team-high 23:25 of ice time in Sunday's 3-1 loss to New Jersey.

    Foerster has seen his ice time increase in each of the last three games, and Sunday marked the second-most he has received in 2024-25, so he appears to be earning more trust from head coach John Tortorella. Foerster could be a name worth keeping an eye on for fantasy managers if he continues to log heavy minutes on the top line, though the Flyers' struggles as a team could challenge that notion. The right-shot winger has contributed 16 goals and 14 assists over 64 appearances this season.
