Vladar will start in Colorado on Monday.

On the front end of a back-to-back, with the Flames desperately trying to stay within reach of a Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, Vladar will be tending the twine on Monday against the Colorado Avalanche. The 27-year-old Vladar was serviceable in his most recent outing, saving 26 of 29 shots (.897 SV%) in a 4-3 win over the New York Islanders. He has a 2.90 GAA and .893 SV% in 28 games this season (10-11-6). The Flames enter Monday's contest as sizeable +242 road underdogs against an Avalanche squad that defeated them 4-2 two weeks ago.

Ristolainen (upper-body) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

Ristolainen has not suited up since March 11th due to an upper-body injury, was announced out week-to-week on Thursday, and will not likely miss the remainder of the season. It is a huge loss on the back end for the Flyers, as the 30-year-old had been coming around as of late with four points in his last nine games played. Ristolainen likely puts a bow on the 2024-25 regular season with four goals, 19 points and a +3 plus/minus in 63 games played.

Fedotov will start vs. Nashville on Monday.

The Flyers have outscored their opposition 13-8 during a two-game winning streak and will turn Fedotov between the pipes on Monday against the Nashville Predators.

He has a 3.21 GAA and .877 SV% in 24 appearances this season (5-13-3). The Flyers enter Monday's contest as -119 home favorites against a Predators squad that has lost two straight (0-2-0) and will be without Jonathan Marchessault (lower body).
