Matvei Michkov Delivers Two Assists Wednesday

Philadelphia Flyers winger Matvei Michkov had his second multi-point performance in three games on Wednesday, finishing a 5-2 home win against the Buffalo Sabres with a pair of assists. He recorded a power-play helper on a Travis Konecny goal in the first period and had an even-strength assist when Owen Tippett capped off the scoring in the second. Recently, Michkov has enjoyed his best spell of the season, averaging a point per game over a five-game span. His role is expected to grow in the coming weeks, with Tyson Foerster (upper body) unavailable for at least a couple of months. Michkov has managed eight goals and 16 points in 26 games for the season.

Cam York Exits Win Early

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Cam York (upper body) was injured during the second period of Wednesday's 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports. He sustained an upper-body injury late in the period during a scrum. York has been a regular in the Flyers lineup after missing the first three games of the season. He has registered 12 points (one goal, 11 assists) and 46 blocks in 23 outings. Noah Juulsen will likely be used as York's replacement in the lineup if he isn't ready to play in Sunday's contest against the Colorado Avalanche.

Rasmus Ristolainen to Miss at Least One More Week

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (triceps) will be sidelined for at least one more week. On Wednesday, the Finnish blue-liner practiced in a non-contact jersey for the first time since having surgery in late March to repair a ruptured right triceps tendon. Once he is ready to return, Ristolainen will likely slot into a top-four role in the Flyers defense. Last season, he finished the year with 19 points (four goals, 15 assists), 100 shots, 94 blocks, and 97 hits in 62 appearances. Ristolainen may not have much fantasy value, but he will improve the Flyers defense as the team aims to end a five-year postseason drought in 2026.

Tyson Foerster to Miss 2-3 Months

Philadelphia Flyers winger Tyson Foerster (upper body) will be out 2-3 months after being hurt in Monday's loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Foerster scored a team-leading 10th goal of the season against Pittsburgh and has logged three assists in 21 contests. He has played a big role in all situations for the Flyers, averaging over two minutes of power-play time (2:19) and 1:28 on the penalty kill. Due to Foerster's injury, Matvei Michkov will likely see increased usage moving forward, with Nicolas Deslauriers in line to rejoin the lineup.

Tyson Foerster Hurt in Monday's Loss

Philadelphia Flyers winger Tyson Foerster (upper body) was injured in an unusual manner during Monday's 5-1 defeat against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He left the ice holding his right shoulder after an attempted one-timer in the second period. Foerster scored Philadelphia's only goal in the contest, lighting the lamp on the power play. Last month, Foerster missed four games with a foot injury, and unfortunately, he may land back on the shelf after Monday night. The 23-year-old leads his team with 10 goals and has amassed 13 points in 21 outings. Matvei Michkov might take Foerster's spot in the top six, while the Flyers also must tweak their second power-play unit if he can't play.

Owen Tippett Amasses Three Points in Saturday's Win

Philadelphia Flyers winger Owen Tippett was the leading man in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils, posting two goals and one assist. He scored the game's first and last goal while helping out Trevor Zegras on Philadelphia's fourth tally. After a disappointing start to the campaign, Tippett has looked like a different player lately. Over the last two weeks, he has notched 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in eight games. For the season, Tippett boasts 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in 24 games. Tippett also provides hits regularly to fantasy teams, ranking third on the Flyers squad with 41.

Tyson Foerster on Track to Return Wednesday

Philadelphia Flyers winger Tyson Foerster (lower body) has been removed from Injured Reserve, Jackie Spiegel of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. This is a strong signal that Foerster is ready to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers. Earlier in the day, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet labeled Foerster a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup. Due to a lower-body injury, Foerster has missed four contests. He has scored four goals and seven points in 11 games this term. On Wednesday, Foerster will make his comeback alongside his regular linemates, Noah Cates and Bobby Brink. The trio is also expected to operate on the second power-play unit.

Trevor Zegras Dishes Out Two Assists in Tuesday's Win

Philadelphia Flyers forward Trevor Zegras had two assists in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Montreal Canadiens, becoming the fastest player to reach 15 career points with the team since 2009-10. Zegras' playmaking helped the Flyers get a pair of power-play goals in the first period. His move to Philadelphia has worked out really well, as Zegras has amassed four goals and 11 assists over 13 outings this season, leading the Flyers in scoring. Zegras is among the league leaders with eight power-play points (two goals, six assists). In the next matchups, Philadelphia faces a couple of the league's worst defenses in Nashville and Ottawa, setting Zegras up for more success this week.

Tyson Foerster Won't Play Sunday

Philadelphia Flyers winger Tyson Foerster (lower body) won't play on Sunday night against the Calgary Flames. The 23-year-old potted a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-2 defeat to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but he apparently sustained a lower-body injury during that game. The team announced that Foerster will be re-evaluated at a later date. Foerster has enjoyed a couple of three-game point streaks this season and boasts seven points (four goals, three assists) in 11 appearances. He's been playing in all situations, averaging 18:18 of ice time. While losing Foerster is a blow for the Flyers, they will get Sean Couturier (upper body) back in the lineup on Sunday.

Sean Couturier Returns to Flyers Lineup Sunday

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (upper body) will get back to work on Sunday against the Calgary Flames. After being hit by a puck in Thursday's matchup against the Nashville Predators, Couturier sat out Saturday night's action versus the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Flyers captain has been in top form this season, registering two goals and seven assists in 10 appearances. He's averaging 18:09 of ice time, with nearly two minutes of power-play time. Couturier should have his usual workload in Sunday's game.

Sean Couturier Out on Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (upper body) won't play on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports. The Flyers captain was a game-time decision after suffering an upper-body injury in Thursday's clash against the Nashville Predators. Jacob Gaucher will come into the lineup for his season debut as a fourth-liner. Trevor Zegras had had a nice start to life in Philadelphia and may receive more ice time with Couturier missing. Christian Dvorak and Noah Cates might also experience increased usage.

Sean Couturier Injured Versus Predators

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (undisclosed) exited Thursday's 4-1 win over the Nashville Predators before the second period. During the opening frame, Couturier was hit by a shot from Flyers defenseman Noah Juulsen. He was able to finish the period but didn't return for the second, exiting the contest after logging 5:17 of ice time. The Flyers captain has been on a roll early in the season, dishing out seven assists and amassing nine points in 10 games. Philadelphia should provide an update on Couturier before Saturday's contest against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Christian Dvorak, who has bagged one goal and two assists over the past three games, may see more ice time if Couturier has to exit the lineup.

Samuel Ersson Lands on Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve on Thursday. The Swedish netminder "tweaked" something during Wednesday's practice and is now set to spend at least one week on the sidelines. In four starts this season, Ersson has compiled a 2-1-1 record, while allowing 3.08 goals with a .876 save percentage. Dan Vladar will be in the Flyers net on Thursday against the Nashville Predators, with Aleksei Kolosov serving as his backup after being recalled from the minors. In 2025-26, Vladar has been a strong fantasy option, producing a 1.81 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage, while going 3-2-0.

Samuel Ersson Questionable for Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson (undisclosed) missed Wednesday's practice, putting his status in doubt for Thursday's affair against the Nashville Predators. "He warmed up and he tweaked something," Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet said Wednesday. "It's a day-to-day thing. We'll re-evaluate [Thursday]. I don't think it's major. Just kind of tweaked something." Ersson has started the last two games for Philadelphia, winning both and bringing his season record to 2-1-1. He has a goals-against average of 3.08 and a save percentage of .876. Losing Ersson would be a blow for the Flyers, but they have another capable goaltender in Dan Vladar, who has actually been in better form this season. The Czech netminder holds a 3-2-0 record, with a goals-against average of 1.81 and a save percentage of .932.

Cam York on Track to Make Season Debut Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Cam York (lower body) is expected to make his season debut in Thursday's encounter with the Winnipeg Jets. York practiced for a third straight day on Wednesday, and the team is expected to activate him from Injured Reserve ahead of Thursday's game. With York's return, the Flyers receive help on both ends of the ice, as the 24-year-old blue-liner posted 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) and 126 blocks in 66 outings last season. York is expected to join Travis Sanheim on the first defensive pairing Thursday night, with Emil Andrae coming out of the lineup. Philadelphia has reassigned him to the minors.

Sean Couturier Tallies Four Points Against Panthers

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier racked up two goals and two assists in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Florida Panthers. Couturier's second marker came late in the third period and was the game-winning goal. The veteran forward had his third career game with multiple goals and assists in a single contest, making him only the third Flyers player in the last 25 years to have this many performances with two-plus goals and assists. Couturier entered Monday's matchup with zero points through two games. This outing could provide Couturier with some momentum, but since it's been years since he was a consistent scorer, fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from him.

Cam York on Injured Reserve to Start the Season

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Cam York (lower body) has been placed on Injured Reserve, and it's unclear how much time he will miss. "At the moment it's a day-to-day thing," Flyers general manager Danny Briere said Monday. "We're trying to find out a little bit more. Are we looking at a week? Are we looking at two weeks? Are we looking at two days? That's what we're trying to figure out right now." Once he recovers, York will look to bounce back from a quiet campaign. In 2024-25, he recorded 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) in 66 games. If York is out for an extended period, Nick Seeler and Adam Ginning will take on larger roles on Philadelphia's left side of the defense.

Tyson Foerster Makes Preseason Debut Monday

Philadelphia Flyers left wing Tyson Foerster (elbow) will play in Monday's preseason encounter against the Boston Bruins. He will log his first preseason minutes after recovering from an elbow procedure. Following Monday's action, the Flyers have two more preseason games scheduled, giving Foerster a good opportunity to find some rhythm before the regular season starts. Foerster has improved year after year and could make another leap in 2025-26 as a top-six regular. He looks set to start the season on a line with Noah Cates and Bobby Brink, which new head coach Rick Tocchet has praised during training camp.

Tyson Foerster Ditches Non-Contact Jersey

Philadelphia Flyers winger Tyson Foerster (elbow) practiced in a regular jersey on Tuesday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports. He arrived at training camp still recovering from offseason elbow surgery. The fact that Foerster has been cleared for contact is a good sign that he might be ready for game action soon. Foerster won't play on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens, but he could be an option for Thursday's encounter with the Washington Capitals. The 23-year-old managed 25 goals and 43 points over 81 appearances last season. With further experience and development, he has the potential to achieve 50 points this season.

Tyson Foerster on Track to Be Healthy for Season Opener

Philadelphia Flyers winger Tyson Foerster (elbow) appears to be on track to be healthy for the start of the 2025-26 NHL campaign. Flyers general manager Danny Briere told Bill Meltzer of Hockey Hot Stove via text that "everything looks good right now" for Foerster, and he "should be ready for the season." The 23-year-old underwent elbow surgery during the offseason to treat an infection caused by an injury he sustained while playing for Team Canada at the World Championship. Foerster has produced back-to-back 20-goal campaigns in his first two years in the NHL and was tied for fourth in scoring on his team last season with 43 points (25 goals, 18 assists) in 81 games.
