Brink left last Tuesday's game vs. Anaheim after just one shift and 26 seconds TOI due to an upper-body injury and has not played since. The 24-year-old forward has taken a step forward offensively in his third NHL season this year, with 11 goals, 20 points and 71 SOG in 41 games played.

Vladar was off to a rough start in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, allowing two goals on five shots, but did not get the chance to redeem himself, leaving the game towards the end of the first period because of an undisclosed injury. The 28-year-old Vladar has arguably been Philadelphia's most valuable player this season, posting a 2.46 GAA and .905 SV% in 28 games (16-7-4). If Vladar misses any time, expect Samuel Ersson to see most of the action in the Flyers' crease.
With Dan Vladar (undisclosed) sidelined on Thursday and in the process of being re-evaluated, the Flyers have recalled Kolosov from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL). The 24-year-old Kolosov has spent most of the season in the AHL, but was solid in two appearances with the Flyers earlier this season (0-1-0), posting a 1.62 GAA and .929 SV%.

Ristolainen was a surprise absence on Wednesday, as the Flyers did not announce his absence prior to warmups. His vacancy on the Flyers' blue-line makes room for the return of Jamie Drysdale (upper-body).

The 28-year-old Vladar allowed four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, the first time he has allowed more than three goals in over a month. Vladar has a 2.42 GAA and .907 SV% in 27 games this season (16-7-4). The Flyers enter Wednesday's contest as +123 home underdogs against a Sabres team that is 13-2-0 in their last 15 games, but is 3-2-0 in their last five.
Denver Barkey will be a healthy scratch on Wednesady, allowing Deslauriers to re-enter the lineup against the Buffalo Sabres. The 34-year-old Deslauriers is averaging 8:18 time-on-ice through 17 games and is still searching for his first point of the season.
Nicolas Deslauriers will draw back into Philadelphia's lineup on Wednesday, sending Barkey to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 20-year-old Barkey is in his first NHL season and has three points (1G / 2A) in 11 games.

Konecny missed Philadelphia's previous game because of an upper-body injury and was seemingly ready to return to the lineup after being a full participant at practice on Sunday, but left practice early after taking a puck to the knee area, leaving his status uncertain for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 28-year-old Konecny is averaging 18:57 time-on-ice and has 38 points (14G / 24A) in 42 games this season.

With Samuel Ersson continuing to struggle, Vladar continues to solidify his role as Philadelphia's go-to option between the pipes.

Vladar has a 2.35 GAA and .910 SV% in 26 games this season (16-6-4). The Flyers enter Monday's contest as +136 home underdogs against a Tampa Bay Lightning team on an impressive eight-game winning streak.
