Philadelphia Flyers News

Vladar will be back between the pipes for the Flyers tonight after getting the night off on the front-end of their back-to-back on Wednesday. Vladar struggled in his last outing, allowing six goals on 24 shots before being pulled in a 6-2 loss to the Rangers on Monday. Thankfully, those kind of performances have been rare for the 28-year-old this season, as Vladar boasts a 20-11-6 record and .903 SV% across 39 appearances. The Flyers enter action on Thursday at +185 on the money line.

Ersson has not played much since returning from the Olympic break, limited to just one start, but he was solid in that outing, saving 22 of 24 shots (.917 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime win over the New York Rangers. That said, consistency has been an issue with Ersson, who has an ugly 3.54 GAA and .863 SV% in his last 10 appearances (3-4-1). The Flyers enter the action on Wednesday as slight +108 home underdogs against a Washington Capitals team that is coming off a 7-3 win over the Calgary Flames to snap a three-game losing streak.

Garnet Hathaway will re-enter Philadelphia's lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals, resulting in Glendening being a healthy scratch. The 36-year-old Glendening has one assist and is averaging 11:16 time-on-ice through two games with Philadelphia.

Luke Glendening will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals, allowing Hathaway to re-enter the lineup. The 34-year-old Hathaway is averaging 10:10 time-on-ice, recording two points (1G / 1A), 59 penalty minutes, and 198 hits in 53 games this season.

Powell was a fifth-round pick of the Flyers in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, who has yet to make his professional debut. The 21-year-old forward spent the 2025-26 season playing collegiate hockey with Arizona State University, scoring 12 points (7G / 5A) in 34 games.

Andrae will take a seat on Monday as Nick Seeler (lower-body) re-enters the lineup. Andrae has one goal and ten assists in 45 games this season.

Seeler will return to the lineup on Monday after missing the last two games due to a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old defenseman is averaging 18:21 time-on-ice and has eight points (2G / 6A) in 60 games this season.

Konecny will return to the lineup on Monday after missing the last three games due to an upper-body injury. The 28-year-old forward is coming off a two-point performance (1G / 1A) in a 3-1 win over the Boston Bruins, giving him 18 points (9G / 9A) in his last 13 games.

Vladar is coming off his weakest performance in recent weeks, allowing three goals on 23 shots (.870 SV%), but still salvaged a 4-3 shootout win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 28-year-old Czech goalie has continued to be a steadying presence between the pipes for the Flyers since returning from the Olympic break, posting an excellent 1.96 GAA and .924 SV% in five outings (3-2-0). The Flyers enter Monday's contest as -138 home favourites against a New York Rangers team they defeated 3-2 in overtime less than two weeks ago.
