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).

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.

Deslauriers appeared in two straight games, but will be replaced by Carl Grundstrom in the lineup on Saturday. Deslauriers has no points in six games this season.

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.

Kolosov was recalled two weeks ago to serve as the Flyer's backup while Samuel Ersson was battling an injury, and played well when called upon, posting a 1.62 GAA and .929 SV% in two appearances (0-1-0). With Ersson's impending return to the lineup, Kolosov will return to Lehigh Valley (AHL).

Ersson has not played since suffering an undisclosed injury on October 28th, but returned to practice on Wednesday and could be back between the pipes on Saturday against the Ottawa Senators. Before his injury, Ersson was splitting time with Dan Vladar, who had been terrific and greatly outplayed Ersson. That said, Vladar has faced adversity in Ersson's absence, which should allow Ersson to continue his push for more playing time. The 26-year-old Erson has a 3.08 GAA and .876 SV% in four games this season (2-1-1).

Abols will take the place of Jacob Gaucher, who was reassigned to Lehigh Valley (AHL) on Thursday. Abols is yet to register a point through eight games this season.

Gaucher was sent down to create room on the roster for Samuel Ersson, who was activated off injured reserve in a corresponding move. Gaucher is yet to register his first career NHL point through seven games with the Flyers.

Samuel Ersson (undisclosed) has returned to practicing and is nearing a return, but Vladar will remain in the Flyers' crease on Thursday against the Nashville Predators. The 28-year-old Vladar has a solid 2.33 GAA and .912 SV% in eight games this season (5-3-0). That said, he has struggled in his last two games (1-1-0), allowing four goals in both outings. The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +108 road underdogs against a Nashville Predators team with points in three straight games (1-0-2).

Abols was a late scratch on Tuesday, with the team not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Nicolas Deslauriers will draw into the lineup in his place.

With Samuel Ersson (undisclosed) still sidelined, Vladar remains the Flyers' number-one option between the pipes, and he will return there on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens.

He has a 2.11 GAA and .924 SV% in seven games this season (4-3-0). The Flyers enter Tuesday's matchup with the Canadiens as +139 road underdogs.
