Nicolas Deslauriers will draw back into Philadelphia's lineup on Wednesday, sending Barkey to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 20-year-old Barkey is in his first NHL season and has three points (1G / 2A) in 11 games.
Vladar has lost two games in a row (0-1-1), a rarity for the Czech goalie this season, but he will return to the crease on Wednesday, hoping to avoid losing three consecutive games for the first time this season. The 28-year-old Vladar allowed four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, the first time he has allowed more than three goals in over a month. Vladar has a 2.42 GAA and .907 SV% in 27 games this season (16-7-4). The Flyers enter Wednesday's contest as +123 home underdogs against a Sabres team that is 13-2-0 in their last 15 games, but is 3-2-0 in their last five.
Drysdale exited last Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks after only 5:56 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. He was placed on Injured Reserve and will be eligible to be activated on Wednesday when the Flyers face off against the Buffalo Sabres. The 23-year-old defenseman has 18 points (3G / 15A) in 41 games this season.
Konecny missed Philadelphia's previous game because of an upper-body injury and was seemingly ready to return to the lineup after being a full participant at practice on Sunday, but left practice early after taking a puck to the knee area, leaving his status uncertain for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 28-year-old Konecny is averaging 18:57 time-on-ice and has 38 points (14G / 24A) in 42 games this season.
Woll's play over his past five games has shown a wide contrast: allowing one or fewer goals three times, including two shutouts, while allowing four or more in the other two, yet he continues to get the result, going 4-0-1. That said, the 27-year-old Woll has been highly reliable tending the twine for the Maple Leafs this season and has helped his team record a point in 10 of his last 11 games (9-1-1) while posting a solid 2.24 GAA and .922 SV%. Still, the Maple Leafs enter Monday's contest as significant +202 road underdogs against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, who have outscored their opposition 12-2 in their last two games (2-0-0).

With Samuel Ersson continuing to struggle, Vladar continues to solidify his role as Philadelphia's go-to option between the pipes. The 28-year-old Vladar was solid in his last outing, but did not receive ample goal support, saving 21 of 23 shots (.913 SV%) in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Vladar has a 2.35 GAA and .910 SV% in 26 games this season (16-6-4). The Flyers enter Monday's contest as +136 home underdogs against a Tampa Bay Lightning team on an impressive eight-game winning streak.
Konecny suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday's loss to the Maple Leafs and it will keep him out of the lineup on Saturday. Matvei Michkov will move up to the Flyers' top line to replace Konecny, who is considered day-to-day.
Woll stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Panthers on Tuesday. After getting Thursday night off in Philadelphia, Woll is expected to be back in net Saturday vs. the Canucks. It's a great matchup for Woll, with Vancouver coming in on a five-game losing streak and Toronto sitting at -153 home favourites. Don't hesitate to play Woll on the busy 14-game slate.
Konecny only played the first two periods of Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, exiting the game with an upper-body injury. The 28-year-old Konecny has yet to miss a game this season, and his status for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning is up in the air. Konecny has 28 points (14G / 24A) in 42 games this season.
Drysdale exited Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks after only 5:56 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. An update on Drysdale's status has not yet been provided, but he will be sidelined for at least one week before he is eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve. The 23-year-old defenseman has 18 points (3G / 15A) in 41 games this season.

Jiricek has split time this season between Iowa (AHL) and Minnesota, and was recalled earlier this week because of a Zach Bogosian (lower body) injury. That said, he has been reassigned to Iowa to correspond with Daemon Hunt being activated from IR. The 22-year-old Jiricek has zero points in 18 games with Minnesota this season.
The Flyers have made it clear that Vladar is their go-to option between the pipes and will start again on Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 28-year-old Czech goalie has allowed three or fewer goals in nine straight games (6-1-2), posting a solid .916 SV%. He has a 2.37 GAA and .910 SV% through 25 games this season (16-6-3)). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as -113 home favorites against a Maple Leafs team with points in seven straight games (5-0-2).
Drysdale exited Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks after only 5:56 time-on-ice due to an undisclosed injury.

The 23-year-old defenseman has 18 points (3G / 15A) in 41 games this season.
Michkov did not play in the Flyers win over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday, but he will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. After a 63 point rookie season, Michkov has faced some adversity in his sophomore season, with only 23 points (9G / 14A) in 40 games. That said, he has played better lately, with seven points (1G / 6A) in his last 10 games.
