Flyers' Morgan Frost: Two points against Florida
Frost scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
That's back-to-back two-point performances for Frost, although he waited until the game was well in hand to get rolling Tuesday. The 23-year-old has seen his production take a step forward in 2022-23, and he's compiled 14 goals and 35 points over 69 contests to shatter his previous career highs. The 2017 first-round pick could see his numbers rise further next season as the Flyers' roster improves around him.

Flyers' Joel Farabee: Two-point effort in win
Farabee scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
The 23-year-old has a three-game goal streak going, but that comes on the heels of a 26-game goal drought that saw him scrounge up only four helpers. Farabee continues to see top-six ice time and gets his chances on the power play, but it hasn't translated into consistent production -- on the season, he has only 12 goals and 31 points through 70 games.

Flyers' Travis Sanheim: Lights lamp twice in win
Sanheim scored two goals including the game-winner in Tuesday's 6-3 victory over the Panthers.
Both goals came in a second period that saw the Flyers find the back of the net four times in total. Sanheim has three tallies in the last four games, but those are his only points since Feb. 9. On the season, the 26-year-old blueliner has seven goals and 19 points through 69 games.

Flyers' Carter Hart: Wins second straight
Hart made 41 saves in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
The 24-year-old netminder allowed one goal in each period, but the Flyers scored four in the second period alone to hand Hart his second straight win and 19th of the season. His numbers remain erratic as he plays behind a sketchy Philadelphia roster that has the third-worst record in the Eastern Conference, but Hart has held his own in March, going 3-2-1 over six starts with a 2.99 GAA and .911 save percentage.

Flyers' Egor Zamula: Surfaces with two helpers
Zamula posted two assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday, Zamula seemingly came out of nowhere to produce his first career multi-point game. The 22-year-old saw just 13:09 of ice time, but he was efficient on the way to a plus-2 rating and adding a pair of hits. The Flyers dressed seven defensemen, including Zamula, who was instrumental in helping the Flyers tame a Panthers team that had three straight wins heading into the latest clash.

Flyers' Carter Hart: In goal against Cats
Hart will get the starting nod at home versus Florida on Tuesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Hart needs just two more victories to get over the 20-win mark for the second time in his five-year NHL career. The 24-year-old backstop is also sporting a GAA below 3.00 for the first time since his sophomore campaign back in 2019-20. Barring a drastic shift, Hart should maintain his place as the preferred option between the crease heading into next season, though Felix Sandstrom should be in the mix for some appearances as well.

Flyers' Egor Zamula: Recalled from minors
Zamula was elevated from AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday.
The addition of Zamula could be an indication that there is an injury on the Flyers' blue line, though nothing official has been announced as of yet. Even if there is an injury, Zamula may be hard-pressed to break into the lineup for Tuesday's clash with the Panthers. For his part, Zamula has appeared in 11 NHL games this season in which he garnered two assists, six shots and six hits while averaging just 13:45 of ice time.

Cates finished the contest with a power-play goal, one assist, three shots, two hits and two blocks. He has 11 goals and 29 points on the campaign. Cates is playing a meaningful role for the Flyers, slotting in as the top line center with first unit power-play minutes.

Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Gets first NHL goal in fifth game
Foerster scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to Carolina.
Foerster got his first NHL goal early in the second period in his fifth NHL game. Morgan Frost slid a pass between players to him, and he beat Frederik Andersen to draw the Flyers to within one at 2-1. Foerster picked up a power-play assist late in the second when he wired a shot that Andersen stopped, but Noah Cates grabbed the rebound and stuffed it home. The pride of Alliston, Ontario had 19 goals and 39 points in 57 AHL games prior to his call-up this week.

Flyers' Felix Sandstrom: Can't buy win
Sandstrom made 29 saves in a 5-4 overtime loss to Carolina on Saturday.
Sandstrom almost made off with his second win of the season, but Martin Necas knocked in a loose puck on a 6-on-4 power play with 0.3 seconds left to tie the game. And then Sebastian Aho completed his hat trick on a rush just 28 seconds into overtime. Sandstrom is 1-10-2 on the season and has just one win in 18 starts over the last two seasons. Two words: waiver wire.

Flyers' Felix Sandstrom: Facing Hurricanes
Sandstrom will defend the home crease versus Carolina on Saturday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
It hasn't been a good season for Sandstrom, who is 1-10-1 with a 3.37 GAA and .887 save percentage. His job won't get any easier against the Hurricanes, who are second in the NHL standings with 96 points in 67 games.

Flyers' Tony DeAngelo: Two-point night Friday
DeAngelo picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
The blueliner snapped a five-game point drought with the performance, although DeAngelo's slump has lasted longer than that -- including Friday's effort, he has just one goal and six points in 15 games since the All-Star break while also sitting out two contests due to a suspension. The 27-year-old remains a threat with the man advantage though, and 16 of his 36 points on the season have come on the power play.

Flyers' Kevin Hayes: Two helpers against Buffalo
Hayes collected two assists in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sabres,
Both helpers came in the second period as the Flyers built a 4-0 lead. Hayes hadn't scored a goal in 14 straight games, managing only four assists over that stretch, but despite the slump he's still only four points shy of tying the career-high 55 he set in 2018-19.

Flyers' Owen Tippett: Hat trick in Friday's win
Tippett scored three goals, one on the power play and one the game-winner, in Friday's 5-2 victory over the Sabres.
He found the back of the net in each period while opening and closing the scoring for the Flyers as he recorded his first career hat trick. Tippett had only one goal in his prior seven games, but he's having a solid finish to the season, with seven goals and nine points over the last 14 contests. On the season, the 24-year-old has already set new career highs with 21 goals and 37 points through 63 games.

Flyers' Carter Hart: Sharp against Sabres
Hart turned aside 36 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over Buffalo.
He took a shutout into the third period, and in the end Hart got beaten only when the Flyers were down a man as Victor Olofsson banged home two power-play tallies. It's just Hart's second win in his last 10 starts, a stretch in which the 24-year-old has gone 2-6-2 with a 3.49 GAA and .883 save percentage.

Flyers' Ivan Provorov: Logs efficient performance
Provorov went plus-3 with an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
This was the first point in eight games for Provorov, who's averaging a career low in TOI (00:55) on the power play. On a positive note, the 26-year-old defenseman has racked up 144 blocked shots through 68 games. Fantasy managers may still find him useful in deep leagues, but his stock has faded considerably since his career-high 41-point output in 2017-18.
