Goalie Start
Levi will start vs. New York on Monday.
Levi returned from a two-week absence due to a lower-body injury on Saturday and played well, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in a 4-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. Tristan Jarry played well during Levi's absence, arguably his best stretch of play as an Oiler, but Head Coach Mike Babcock reaffirmed his trust in Levi, returning him on Monday against the New York Rangers. The 24-year-old Levi has a 2.97 GAA and .889 SV% in eight games (7-1-0). The Oilers enter Monday's outing as -157 home favourites against a Rangers team on a three-game winning streak.
Marchessault (lower-body) returned to practice on Monday.
Marchessault has not played in over a week due to a lower-body injury, but is nearing a return after practicing on Monday. The 36-year-old Marchessault's offensive production has dipped in recent seasons, most evident this season, with only five points (2G / 3A) in 14 games despite regularly playing on the team's top power-play unit.
Taylor has been reassigned to the Texas Stars (AHL).
Taylor recently made his NHL debut, playing three games this season while filling in for injuries on the Dallas blueline, averaging 10:06 time-on-ice and scoring zero points. His return to Texas (AHL), could indicate that Miro Heiskanen (upper body) is nearing a return.
Goalie Start
Woll is expected to start Monday in Vancouver.
Woll had a chance to earn more playing time after a poor start to Dan Vladar's season, but he has struggled in recent outings, while Vladar has turned things around. The 28-year-old Woll was serviceable in his most recent outing, saving 26 of 29 shots (.897 SV%), but he still lost 3-2 to the New York Rangers. Woll has a 3.12 GAA and .899 SV% in nine games this season (1-6-2). The Flyers enter Monday's contest as -133 road favourites against a last-place Vancouver Canucks team that has scored two or fewer goals four times during a five-game losing streak (0-5-0).
Point (undisclosed) left Sunday's game and did not return.
Point played only 5:35 time-on-ice in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets before leaving the game with an undisclosed injury. Following the game, Head Coach Jon Cooper was hopeful that Point's injury was not severe, but suggested that he could "miss some time." The 30-year-old Point was starting to heat up before his injury, scoring 10 points (4G / 6A) during a 10-game point streak.

Colangelo will be a healthy scratch on Sunday.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?
There’s never been more talent scattered across the NHL than there is this season. With living legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin still setting records left-and-right, alongside today’s current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, the level of talent in the NHL is at an all-time high. Along with these established stars, there’s plenty of budding stars emerging every season such as Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov.
What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?
Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.
In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.
How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.
Some notable fantasy hockey performers that flew under the radar in most drafts this year include Martin Necas (123 ADP) of the Carolina Hurricanes and Kiefer Sherwood of the Vancouver Canucks. While sleeper picks are always a great get, nothing is worse than a bust taken early on. Some of the most disappointing players of the fantasy hockey season includes Zach Hyman (28 ADP) of the Edmonton Oilers and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (33 ADP).
Whether you’re checking out how your current rostered players are performing or scouting for hidden gems on the waiver wire, the latest player news can help you make your next winning move this season.
Which NHL players are having breakout or comeback seasons?
Every season there are several players who have breakout years, establishing themselves as some of the best up-and-coming stars in the league. In the 2024-25 season early breakout candidates have emerged such as Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals (on-pace for his first 100-point season) and Ivan Barbashev of the Vegas Golden Knights (on-pace for career-high in points).
Additionally, nothing beats a comeback story, and that can be said about surging veterans such as Anze Koipitar of the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Duchene of the Dallas Stars.
