Rodrigo Abols and Nicolas Deslauriers will be healthy scratches on Monday against the Seattle Kraken, allowing Nikita Grebenkin and Jett Luchanko to re-enter the lineup. The 22-year-old Grebenkin, in his first season with the Flyers, is averaging 10:17 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in three games.
Five games into the Flyer's 2025-26 season (2-2-1), Vladar is making an early push for a heavier workload. The 28-year-old Czech goalie has been outstanding through three games this season (2-1-0), posting a stellar 1.65 GAA and .934 SV%. That said, in five previous NHL seasons, Vladar has had a save percentage above .900 only once. The Flyers enter Monday's contest as +114 road underdogs against a Seattle Kraken team that has yet to lose in regulation this season (3-0-2).
Luchanko has dressed in three straight games, but was held off of the scoresheet in each contest. He'll be replaced by Rodrigo Abols in the lineup on Saturday.
