After scoring 10 goals in 2024-25, Hathaway has not had the same offensive touch in 2025-26, with only three points (1G / 2A) in 57 games. Sean Couturier will return from an injury on Tuesday, replacing Hathaway.

Wilson is averaging 9:05 time-on-ice and has five penalty minutes in two games this season, but will return to the sidelines as a healthy scratch on Tuesday. Luke Glendening is expected to re-enter the lineup as Wilson's replacement.

Couturier has not played in Philadelphia's previous two games, but will return for Tuesday's contest against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 33-year-old veteran forward has 29 points (7G / 22A) in 66 games this season, but has just five points (2G / 3A) in his last 26 games.

Barkey was a third-round pick of the Flyers in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft and made his NHL debut this season. After starting his career with moderate production, scoring eight points (2G / 6A) in his first 16 games, he has been in a slump, with only three points (1G / 2A) in his subsequent 16 outings.

Glendenning has not played in Philadelphia's previous two games, but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 36-year-old fourth-liner has two points (1G / 1A) in his last four games, but only has six points (1G / 5A) through 57 outings this season.

The Flyers are currently outside the playoff picture, but remain hopeful and will rely on Vladar on Tuesday against the high-flying Columbus Blue Jackets. The 28-year-old Vladar was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the San Jose Sharks. The Czech goalie has been tremendous since returning from the Olympic break, posting a 2.22 GAA and .918 SV% in 10 games (6-3-1). The Flyers enter Tuesday's contest as +121 home underdogs against a Blue Jackets team with just one regulation loss in their last 13 games (8-1-4).

The Flyers have relied heavily on Dan Vladar since returning from the Olympic break, but they will turn to Ersson, who has played well lately, on Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings. The 26-year-old Ersson saved 22 of 23 shots (.957 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 4-1 win over the Washington Capitals, and has saved 47 of the last 50 shots he's faced (.940 SV%) across three appearances (2-0-0). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +149 road underdogs against a Kings team coming off a 4-1 win over the New York Rangers.
