Philadelphia Flyers News

After their first win of a disappointing 2026-27 season (1-6-3), the Flyers will flip the script and turn to Joseph Woll on Monday. Dan Vladar's win aside, Woll has been the Flyers' far more reliable goalie this season, posting a 2.77 GAA and .916 SV% in five games (0-3-2). He came up just short in his most recent outing, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%), but lacked goal support, a frequent occurrence this season, in a 2-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. The Flyers enter Monday's contest as sizeable +204 home underdogs against a Colorado Avalanche team that has outscored opponents 36-24 over eight games (5-2-1).

Knuble was a fourth-round pick, 103rd overall, in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. The 22-year-old forward has yet to play an NHL game. He has four points (1G / 3A) in six games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) this season.

Bump made his NHL debut last season, scoring nine points (5G / 4A) in 17 games with the Flyers. The 22-year-old fifth-round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft has been a goal-scoring machine at the AHL level early in 2026-27, scoring eight points (7G / 1A) in five games. The Flyers have struggled offensively this season, so they hope Bump's AHL scoring prowess can help kick-start their offence.

Philadelphia will keep its goalie rotation going on Thursday, turning to Joseph Woll in Detroit as they search for their first win of the 2026-27 season in game 9. Despite being winless in four starts to begin his career in Philadelphia, Woll has looked very solid, as proven by his .914 SV% and 2.95 GAA. He heads to Hockeytown to take on the struggling Red Wings, who have won one of their first six games played to start the season.

Studnicka will make both his season debut and the Flyers' debut on Tuesday vs. Seattle after being recalled from Lehigh Valley (AHL) earlier in the week. The 26-year-old is in his seventh NHL season with his fifth different organization. He appeared in 19 games with Florida last season but failed to pick up a point.

Joseph Woll has outplayed Vladar early in the 2026-27 season, but the team's struggles extend well beyond goaltending, as they have been outscored 28-8 over seven games this season (0-5-2). The 29-year-old Vladar will return to the crease on Tuesday, looking to improve on an abysmal 5.08 GAA and .857 SV% in three games (0-3-0). He allowed five goals on 32 shots (.844 SV%) in his previous outing, a 5-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. The Flyers enter Tuesday's contest as -113 home favourites against a Seattle Kraken team that has outscored opponents 26-17 through six games (4-2-0).
