Lycksell played the previous three games for the Flyers but will return to being a healthy scratch on Thursday against the New York Islanders, with Joel Farabee drawing back into the lineup. The 25-year-old Lycksell has spent most of the season in the AHL, tallying 24 points (9G / 15A) in 25 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
The Flyers will attempt to extend their point streak to four games (2-0-1), with Ersson tending the twine on Thursday against the New York Islanders. Ersson has played well lately, allowing three or fewer goals in five straight outings (4-1-0), posting a terrific .939 SV%. The 25-year-old netminder has a 2.87 GAA and .887 SV% in 22 appearances this season (11-7-2). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +120 road underdogs against an Islanders club that has only scored twice in their last two games (1-1-0).
On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Flyers will turn to Fedotov between the pipes on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 28-year-old Fedotov allowed three goals on 17 shots (.824 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 3-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He has a 3.40 GAA and .874 SV% in 12 appearances this season (4-5-2). The Flyers enter Tuesday's contest as -112 road favorites against a Blue Jackets club they defeated 5-4 on December 21st.
Kuzmenko has been in and out of the lineup lately and will return to a familiar place on the sidelines as a healthy scratch on Monday when the Flames visit the Chicago Blackhawks. The 28-year-old Kuzmenko has only one point (0G / 1A) in his last 16 games. Rory Kernis will draw into Calgary's lineup on Monday, replacing Kuzmenko.
Fresh off his second shutout of the season, saving 22 shots in a 6-0 win over the Anaheim Ducks, Ersson will return to the crease for the Flyers on Monday against the Florida Panthers. The 25-year-old Ersson has had an up-and-down 2024-25 campaign, posting a 2.86 GAA and .888 SV% in 21 appearances this season (10-7-2). The Flyers enter Monday's contest as +146 home underdogs against a Panthers squad with points in three of their last four games (2-1-1).
Lycksell has only played one NHL game this season but will draw into the Flyers' lineup on Saturday against the Anaheim Ducks. The 25-year-old Lycksell has been impressive at the AHL level, scoring 24 points (9G / 15A) in 25 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
Ersson has been out since suffering a lower-body injury on New Year's Eve but will return to the crease on Thursday against the Dallas Stars. The 25-year-old Ersson has a 3.02 GAA and .884 SV% in 19 appearances (9-6-2) but has been better lately, saving 47 of the last 48 shots in his previous two outings (2-0-0). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +140 home underdogs against a Stars squad riding a five-game winning streak.
Fedotov played his first game in over a month in the Flyers' previous outing, a 3-2 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He will be rewarded with another start on Tuesday in a rematch against the Maple Leafs. The towering 6'6 Fedotov has struggled at the NHL level, posting a 3.42 GAA and .877 SV% despite salvaging a serviceable 4-4-2 record. The Flyers enter Tuesday's contest as +112 home underdogs against a Maple Leafs club riding a four-game winning streak.
With Samuel Ersson (lower body) sidelined, Kolosov will start for the Flyers on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Kolosov was solid relieving an injured Ersson on Tuesday, saving all seven shots he faced in a 4-0 win over the San Jose Sharks. That said, the 22-year-old Kolosov has battled adversity in his first NHL season, posting a 3.39 GAA and .872 SV% in 14 appearances (4-7-1). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +175 road underdogs against a Golden Knights squad whose six-game losing skid snapped in a 3-2 loss against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.
Ersson left Tuesday's game vs. San Jose in the second period with a lower-body injury after stopping all 17 of the Sharks' shots he faced but is unfortunately unlikely to play on Thursday in Vegas. He is considered day-to-day and if he misses any period, expect Aleksei Kolosov to take over the crease in his absence.
Ersson saved all 15 shots he faced in an eventual 2-0 win over the San Jose Sharks but exited the game after two periods due to an undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old Ersson had saved 47 of 48 shots in his last two appearances (2-0-0) leading up to his injury. The Flyers will likely provide an update on Ersson before they return to the ice on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Flyers are coming off a disappointing 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Kings and will revert to Ersson between the pipes on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks. Ersson was stellar in his most recent outing, saving 32 of 33 shots (.970 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks. That said, he has a less impressive 3.14 GAA and .880 SV% in 18 games this season (8-6-2). The Flyer enter Tuesday's contest as -168 road favorites against a Sharks club amid a seven-game losing skid (0-6-1).
Walker Duehr will draw into the lineup on Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks, sending Kuzmenko to the press box as a healthy scratch. Kuzmenko has struggled to produce this season, scoring only 10 points (1G / 9A) in 29 games this season. He has only one point (0G / 1A) in his last 13 games.
