Richard played nine games with the Boston Bruins last season, scoring three points (1G / 2A), but has primarily been an AHL player since being drafted in the fourth-round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft by the Nashville Predators. The 27-year-old Richard has nine points (4G / 5A) in seven games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) this season).
Ryan Poehling is away from the team for personal reasons, allowing Deslauriers to re-enter the Flyers' lineup for the first time since October 27th. The 33-year-old Deslauriers has one point (0G / 1A), five penalty minutes, and nine hits through four games this season.
Nicolas Deslauriers will draw into the Flyers lineup on Tuesday, replacing Poehling, who is away from the team for personal reasons. The 25-year-old Poehling has played all 12 games this season, tallying five points (0G / 5A), while averaging 13:31 time-on-ice.
Egor Zamula will draw into the Flyers' lineup on Tuesday, sending Johnson to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 36-year-old Johnson has been a regular most of the season for the Flyers, playing 10 games, but is averaging only 12:55 time-on-ice, the lowest total in his 17-year career.
Veteran Erik Johnson will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes, allowing Zamula to re-enter the lineup. The 24-year-old Zamula has two points (0G / 2A) while averaging 18:19 time-on-ice through eight games this season.
With Samuel Ersson (lower-body) sidelined, the Flyers will turn to Kolosov between the pipes on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Despite an 0-2-2 record to start his NHL career, Kolosov was serviceable in his most recent outing, replacing Ersson midway through the first period and continuing to save 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in an eventual 3-0 loss to the Boston Bruins. That said, the Flyers have allowed 44 goals this season, fifth most in the league, and enter Tuesday's contest against the Hurricanes as significant +258 road underdogs.
Gleason has just four career games to his name and has not appeared in an NHL game since the 2018-19 season with the Dallas Stars. He has one goal and three assists through seven AHL games this season.
York has not played the last five games due to an upper-body injury but could draw back into the lineup on the Flyers' upcoming road trip, which begins on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 23-year-old York is averaging 22:56 time-on-ice and has three points (2G / 1A) through seven games this season.
Ersson played only 7:36 time-on-ice, exiting in the first period of Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Boston Bruins with a lower-body injury. The Flyers' crease will likely be shared by Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov in Ersson's absence. Ersson was riding a three-game winning streak before his injury, saving 74 of his last 80 shots faced (.925 SV%).
Ersson allowed one goal on 21 shots in the Flyers win over the Blues on Thursday. Ersson has won three in a row while posting a 2.00 GAA and .917 SV%. He draws a pretty solid matchup this afternoon against a Bruins team that has the seventh-fewest goals per game (2.64) this season. Still, the Flyers are +102 home underdogs.
After losing six straight (0-5-1), the Flyers have won their last two contests with Ersson between the pipes, including a stellar 23-save shutout on Tuesday in a 2-0 win over the Boston Bruins. The 25-year-old Ersson has had an inconsistent start to the 2024-25 season, a byproduct of porous team play, posting a 3.00 GAA and .891 SV% in seven appearances (3-2-1). The Flyers enter the action on Thursday as -136 home favorites against a St. Louis Blues club pummeled 8-1 by the Ottawa Senators in their previous game.
After missing the last three games, Brink will return to the Flyers lineup on Tuesday, replacing Nicolas Deslauriers. Brink has four points (1G / 3A) in six games this season, all recorded during a season-opening four-game point streak.
Bobby Brink will return to the Flyers lineup on Tuesday, replacing Deslauriers. The hard-hitting Deslauriers played the last four games for the Flyers, tallying one assist, five penalty minutes, and nine hits.
After snapping a six-game losing skid on Saturday, the Flyers returned to the losing column on Sunday and have a lowly 2-6-1 record this season. Despite allowing five goals on 26 shots (.808 SV%), Ersson was between the pipes in Saturday's 7-5 victory over the Minnesota Wild and will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. Allowing 4.4 goals per game, the Flyers rank in the bottom tier of the NHL and enter Tuesday's contest against the Bruins as +170 road underdogs.
The Flyers rank worst in the league defensively, allowing an average of 4.5 goals per game, and will hope that Kolosov can give them some confidence in the crease in his first career NHL game. The 22-year-old Kolosov has a 3.29 GAA and .875 SV% in four games (1-2-1) with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) this season. The Flyers snapped a six-game losing streak on Saturday (0-5-1), with a 7-5 win over the Minnesota Wild, and enter the action on Sunday as -160 home favorites against the Montreal Canadiens.
