Philadelphia Flyers News

The Maple Leafs snapped a five-game losing skid in their most recent game and will likely turn to Woll to tend the twine on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 27-year-old Woll was solid in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the St. Louis Blues, his first victory of the season, saving 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%). The Maple Leafs enter Thursday's contest as slight -101 home underdogs against a Blue Jackets team that has earned points in five of its last six games (3-1-2).

The Oilers scored only once in a 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Monday, and hope to spark some offence with David Tomasek replacing an injured Noah Philp in the lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals. The 27-year-old Philp has three points (2G / 1A) and a -7 plus/minus in 15 games this season.

The Maple Leafs have lost five straight (0-4-1) and fallen to 8-9-2 on the season, hoping to return to the win column with Woll tending the twine on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues. The 27-year-old Woll made his season debut over the weekend, saving 29 of 32 shots (.906 SV%) in a 3-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. With inconsistencies in Toronto's crease this season, Woll has an opportunity to establish himself as their go-to option between the pipes.

Woll did not overly impress during a two-game conditioning stint with the Marlies, going 0-1-1 while posting a 3.72 GAA and .885 SV%, but will return to the lineup for the Maple Leafs. The 27-year-old Woll started in exactly half of Toronto's games last season, posting a 2.73 GAA and .909 SV%, and could be poised for similar or greater deployment if he can find his footing while Anthony Stolarz is injured.

With Tyson Foerster (lower body) activated from Injured Reserve, the Flyers have assigned Grundstrom back to the AHL. The 27-year-old Grundstrom only appeared in one game for the Flyers. He has six points (3G / 3A) in 11 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL).

Foerster was drafted 23rd overall by the Flyers in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and has shown strides towards becoming a reliable offensive producer at the NHL level. After scoring a career-high 43 points (25G / 18A) in 81 games last season, he was off to a strong start in 2025-26, with seven points (4G / 3A) in 11 games. He returned to practice on Tuesday and will likely return to his regular deployment in the Flyers' top-six on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers.

Grebenkin is averaging 9:20 time-on-ice and has three points (1G / 2A) in 11 games this season. Expect Nicolas Deslaurier as a likely candidate to replace Grebenkin in the lineup.

After two poor outings (1-1-0), allowing eight goals on 39 combined shots (.795 SV%), Vladar returned to his elite early-season form in his last outing, saving 23 of 24 shots (.958 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Nashville Predators. The 28-year-old Czech goalie will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers, looking to build on a solid 2.18 GAA and .917 SV% through nine games this season (6-3-0). The Flyers enter Wednesday's contest as +118 home underdogs against an Oilers team that has lost three of their last four (1-3-0).

Aston-Reese will fall right back out of the lineup after drawing in on Monday. Miles Wood (illness) returns to the lineup in his place.

Woll had been away from the team for nearly the first four weeks of the season, but fully returned to practice last week, and will start for the Marlies (AHL) on Tuesday as part of his conditioning assignment. The 27-year-old Woll started in exactly half of Toronto's games last season, posting a 2.73 GAA and .909 SV%, and could be poised for similar or greater deployment if he can find his footing while Anthony Stolarz continues to struggle.

After scoring a career-high 43 points (25G / 18A) in 81 games last season, he was off to a strong start in 2025-26, with seven points (4G / 3A) in 11 games. He returned to practice on Tuesday and his return to the Flyers' top-six seems imminent. The team returns to action on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers.

Aston-Reese will slot in along with Isac Lundestrom as both Miles Wood and Cole Sillinger are unavailable due to an illness. Aston-Reese has appeared in ten games this season, registering zero goals and three assists.

Grundstrom will replace Nicolas Deslauriers and make his Flyers debut on Saturday. The 27-year-old winger opened the season in the AHL, where he had three goals and three assists (six points) in 11 games before getting called up.
