Philadelphia Flyers News

Konecny missed Friday's practice but is good to go for Saturday's game vs. The Wild. Konecny comes into play with three goals and one assist in seven games this season.

Johnson was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Cam York in the lineup on Saturday. With York out for two weeks with an upper-body injury, expect Johnson to play more regularly moving forward.

York suffered an upper-body injury late in Wednesday's loss in Washington and will miss at least the next two weeks. Erik Johnson will replace York in the lineup on Saturday but Rasmus Ristolainen will move up to the top pair to take on additional minutes in York's absence.

Luchanko was a healthy scratch for the last two games, so instead of sitting in the press box, the Flyers have sent the 18-year-old back to his junior team. Luchanko had no points in four games with the Flyers and returns to Guelph where he had 74 points (20G / 54A) in 68 games last season.

The Flyers, losers of six straight (0-5-1), will desperately try to return to the win column on Saturday against a red-hot Minnesota Wild club that is one of two teams without a regulation loss this season (5-0-2). Partially a byproduct of poor team play, the 25-year-old Ersson has posted a lackluster 3.22 GAA and .886 SV% through five appearances this season (1-2-1).

Konecny was absent from practice on Friday, and his status for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Wild is up in the air. The lowly 1-5-1 Flyers can ill afford to lose their talented forward, Konecy, who has four points (3G / 1A) in seven games this season.

Seven games through the 2024-25 season, York leads all Flyers players, averaging 22:56 time-on-ice. York has also contributed three points (2G / 1A) and will be sorely missed from the Flyers' blueline if he misses any time. The Flyers return to action on Saturday afternoon against the Minnesota Wild.

After suffering their fifth consecutive loss last night (0-4-1) at the hands of a 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals, the Flyers will turn to Fedotov between the pipes in a rematch on Wednesday night. The Flyers will be desperate to return to the win column, but Fedotov's numbers thus far leave little to be hopeful for, showcasing an ugly 6.09 GAA and .818 SV% in two outings (0-2-0). The Flyers enter action on Wednesday as +121 road underdogs against the Capitals.

Foerster has played all five games for the Flyers this season but will be a healthy scratch after registering a -3 plus/minus and one point (0G / 1A) thus far. The 22-year-old Foerster had impressive rookie campaign last season, tallying 33 points (20G / 13A) in 77 games.

Laughton was absent from practice on Monday to attend to the birth of his child but will be ready to suit on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals. The 30-year-old Laughton has had a high-impact presence early in the 2024-25 season, tallying four points (2G / 2A) and 18 hits through five games.

Nick Seeler (lower body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and will make his season debut on Wednesday, making Johnson a healthy scratch. The veteran 36-year-old Johnson has one points (0G / 1A), a -2 plus/minus, three blocks, and six hits in five games this season.

The 31-year-old Seeler appeared in 71 games with the Flyers in 2023-24, tallying a goal, 13 points, 78 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus. Eric Johnson will serve as a healthy scratch, allowing Seeler to enter the lineup for his season debut.

Nicolas Deslauriers will make his season debut on Tuesday, replacing Luchanko in the lineup. The 18-year-old Luchanko has yet to find the scoresheet in his debut season, registering a -3 plus/minus and three shots on goal in four games.

Jett Luchanko will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing the hard-hitting Deslauriers to make his season debut. The 33-year-old Deslauriers played 60 games with the Flyers last season, posting four points (1G / 3A), 89 penalty minutes, and 188 hits.

The Flyers, losers of four straight (0-3-1), will roll with Ersson between the pipes for the third time in four games to try and snap out of their losing skid. After winning his first outing, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks, Ersson has allowed eight goals on 68 shots since (.882 SV%). Ersson and the Flyers will be hard-pressed to end their losing ways on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals, averaging 4.3 goals per game during a three-game winning streak.
