The Flyers have won three of four (3-1-0) since Brad Shaw took over head coaching duties and they will turn to Kolosov between the pipes on Wednesday against the New York Rangers.

The 23-year-old goalie has a 3.45 GAA and .870 SV% in 15 appearances this season (4-8-1). The Flyers enter Wednesday's contest as +171 road underdogs against the Rangers.

Abols made his NHL debut this season, scoring five points (2G / 3A) in 22 games with the Flyers, but has spent most of the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL. The seventh-round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft has 27 points (12G / 15A) in 44 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) this season.

On the front end of a back-to-back, with the Flames desperately trying to stay within reach of a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, Vladar will be tending the twine on Monday against the Colorado Avalanche. The 27-year-old Vladar was serviceable in his most recent outing, saving 26 of 29 shots (.897 SV%) in a 4-3 win over the New York Islanders. He has a 2.90 GAA and .893 SV% in 28 games this season (10-11-6). The Flames enter Monday's contest as sizeable +242 road underdogs against an Avalanche squad that defeated them 4-2 two weeks ago.

Ristolainen has not suited up since March 11th due to an upper-body injury, was announced out week-to-week on Thursday, and will not likely miss the remainder of the season. It is a huge loss on the back end for the Flyers, as the 30-year-old had been coming around as of late with four points in his last nine games played.
