Vladar will start in Toronto on Monday.

Vladar has been tremendous since returning from the Olympic break, posting a stellar 1.53 GAA and .945 SV% in two games (1-1-0). The 28-year-old Czech goalie has a 1.88 GAA and .927 SV% in his last six appearances (2-1-2). The Flyers enter the action on Monday as slight +112 road underdogs against a struggling Toronto Maple Leafs team that has been outscored 14-5 in three games (0-3-0) since returning from the Olympic break.

Ersson will start Thursday in New York.

Ersson will get the tail-end of Philadelphia's back-to-back on Thursday after serving as Dan Vladar's backup in last night's loss to the Capitals. Ersson struggled in his last start way back on January 29th, allowing five goals on 20 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Bruins. The 26-year-old has been amongst the worst goaltenders in the league this season, posting an ugly .856 SV% and 3.51 GAA across 24 appearances. The Flyers enter action on Thursday at +120 on the money line.

Vladar will start in Washington on Wednesday.

Vladar accompanied Team Czechia at the Olympics but should be well-rested, as he primarily served as Lukas Dostal's backup. The 28-year-old Vladar will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals, looking to help his team in its late-season playoff push. Vladar headed into the Olympic break with a solid 2.29 GAA and .908 SV% in his last three games (1-0-2). The Flyers enter Wednesday's contest as +130 road underdogs against a Capitals team that entered the Olympic break on a 4-1-0 run.

Sanheim (olympics) is expected to return to Philadelphia's lineup vs. Washington on Wednesday.

Sanheim scored one assist in five games with Team Canada during their Silver Medal performance at the Olympics. The 29-year-old defenseman has 24 points (6G / 18A) in 56 games with the Flyers this season and will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals as they continue their push for a playoff spot.

Sanheim will draw into Canada's lineup vs. Switzerland.

Sanheim was a healthy scratch for the tournament opener vs. Czechia, but will replace Josh Morrissey in the lineup on Friday. Sanheim is expected to serve as the No.7 defenseman, so he'll likely play limited ice time vs. Switzerland. Internationally, he had two goals and two assists in 11 games between the 4Nations (3 games) and World Championships (8 games) in 2025.

Vladar will start Friday vs. France.

Vladar has had a strong season for the Flyers, but it's a bit of a surprise to see him as Czechia's No.2 option ahead of Karel Vejmelka, who is tied for the NHL lead in wins. It is likely due to his strong performance at the World Championships last year, where he was 3-0-0 with a 1.09 GAA, .951 SV% and one shutout. It should be a relatively easy game for Vladar, as Czechia are massive favourites over France.
