Philadelphia Flyers News

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.

Grundstrom will take a seat on Tuesday in favour of Garnet Hathaway. Grundstrom has appeared in 37 games for the Flyers this season, logging eight goals and four assists.

Hathaway will slot in for Tuesday's game in Anaheim, as Carl Grundstrom will draw out of the Flyers lineup. Hathaway has one goal and one assist in 54 games this season.

The Flyers will turn to Vladar between the pipes for the 41st time this season when they travel to Anaheim on Wednesday. Vladar was unfortunate not to come away with a victory in his last start, allowing just a single goal on 28 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday. The 28-year-old netminder is enjoying a career year in his first season with the Flyers, posting a 21-11-7 record and a .905 SV%. Vladar and the Flyers enter action on Wednesday at +125 on the money line.

Knuble was a fourth-round pick of the Flyers in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft and has been rewarded with a two-year, entry-level contract after completing a third season of collegiate hockey. The 21-year-old forward scored 31 points (9G / 22A) in 36 games with Notre Dame (Big-10).

Vladar will be back between the pipes for the Flyers tonight after getting the night off on the front-end of their back-to-back on Wednesday. Vladar struggled in his last outing, allowing six goals on 24 shots before being pulled in a 6-2 loss to the Rangers on Monday. Thankfully, those kind of performances have been rare for the 28-year-old this season, as Vladar boasts a 20-11-6 record and .903 SV% across 39 appearances. The Flyers enter action on Thursday at +185 on the money line.

Ersson has not played much since returning from the Olympic break, limited to just one start, but he was solid in that outing, saving 22 of 24 shots (.917 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime win over the New York Rangers. That said, consistency has been an issue with Ersson, who has an ugly 3.54 GAA and .863 SV% in his last 10 appearances (3-4-1). The Flyers enter the action on Wednesday as slight +108 home underdogs against a Washington Capitals team that is coming off a 7-3 win over the Calgary Flames to snap a three-game losing streak.
