Cam York Re-Enters Flyers Lineup Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Cam York will return to the lineup on Saturday against Columbus. He was a healthy scratch for Thursday's action against Los Angeles. York is among the Flyers' top defensemen, but he's struggled for most of 2024-25. In 19 appearances, he's been limited to five points (three goals, two assists) while logging 38 blocks. York averages nearly 22 minutes of ice time for the season and should feature heavily again on Saturday as Travis Sanheim's partner on the first defensive pairing. However, he's not a good fantasy option, as York has gone scoreless in 11 of his last 13 outings.

Samuel Ersson Faces Wild On Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson will make his 13th start of the campaign in Saturday's matchup against Minnesota. Ersson has lost a lot of time to injury this season but has been solid for the Flyers when healthy. He's lost only one of his last four starts in regulation and has a 6-3-2 record for the season. Ersson's goals-against average stands at 2.85, and he's registered a .893 save percentage with one shutout. Saturday's matchup will be a stern test for Ersson, as the Wild have proven to be one of the best teams in the league this season and score 3.14 goals per game.

Scott Laughton Ties Flyers Record With Four-Goal Performance

Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton was a one-man show against Detroit on Thursday, scoring all of his team's goals in a 4-1 win. He tied the franchise record with the effort, becoming the 10th player in Flyers history to score four goals in a single contest. John LeClair was the last one to do it in 2002. Laughton was busy in front of the net all game, recording nine shots on goal. He had one short-handed goal and two goals with the Red Wings net empty. Laughton entered Thursday's action with only three goals for the season, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect a similar performance from him anytime soon. But it was a memorable night for Laughton, who has amassed 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 30 games over the course of the season.

Samuel Ersson Back In Flyers Crease On Sunday

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson (lower body) will guard the crease in Sunday's meeting with Utah. The Swedish netminder returns to action after sitting out 11 games due to a lower-body injury. Ersson has been solid in the Flyers net this season, going 5-2-2 while allowing 2.70 goals with a .902 save percentage and one shutout. Sunday's matchup is a tricky one for Ersson, as Utah is in the bottom tier of the league in terms of goal-scoring, but the team has exploded for 22 goals across its last five road games.

Jamie Drysdale Returns To Action Sunday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale (upper body) will return to action on Sunday versus Utah. He's been unavailable for the past 12 games because of an upper-body injury. The 2024-25 campaign has been a struggle for Drysdale, who has notched all of his three points (one goal, two assists) in power-play situations and sits on a minus-10 rating through 15 appearances. On the defensive end, he has contributed with 28 blocks. Drysdale will replace Egor Zamula in the Flyers lineup.

Matvei Michkov Provides Three Assists On Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Matvei Michkov finished Thursday's 7-5 loss to Florida with three assists. He produced all the helpers in the second frame, becoming the youngest player in franchise history with three-plus assists in a single period. The 19-year-old Russian had a power-play assist when Tyson Foerster scored and picked up two even-strength helpers on a pair of Owen Tippett strikes. Michkov has struggled to produce offense during even-strength play during his rookie campaign, but he's steadily improving in that regard. The skillful winger paces all first-year players with 22 points (nine goals, 13 assists) through 24 appearances. He's recorded 10 points (four goals, six assists) on the power play.

Travis Konecny Scores Twice In Friday's Victory

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Travis Konecny scored twice in their victory over the New York Rangers on Friday afternoon. Konecny scored the eventual game-winner in the first period on the backhand shot, with the assists coming from Sean Couturier and Rasmus Ristolainen. Later in the final minutes of the game, the 27-year-old would put the game out of reach by scoring the empty-netter. Through 24 games this season, the former first-round selection has tallied 13 goals and 16 helpers with seven power-play points, 68 shots on goal, and a -1 rating. However, he is currently carrying a four-game point streak and tallied multiple points in two of these games during this span. Fantasy managers should continue to expect Konecny to see top minutes in the Philadelphia offense.

Cam York Expected To Return Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Cam York (upper body) appears to be ready to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against Chicago. Kevin Kurz of The Athletic has reported that "all signs seem to be pointing towards" York's return on Saturday. The 23-year-old has missed nearly a month of action, sitting out 13 games. York has recorded three points (two goals, one assist), nine shots, 10 blocks, and seven hits in seven games this season. He's set to resume his duties on the first defensive pairing next to Travis Sanheim. Fellow blue-liner Emil Andrae (undisclosed) is also on track to return to the lineup on Saturday.

Travis Konecny Stretches Point Streak To Seven Games

Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny took his point streak to seven games with an assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to Colorado. Konecny's work helped Owen Tippett to spark a late comeback effort after Philadelphia had fallen 3-0 behind. The seven-game run matches Konecny's second-longest point streak of his career. His best-ever scoring streak stands at 10 games. He can match it this week if he stays productive against Carolina, Chicago, and Vegas. Konecny is once again leading the Flyers in scoring with 23 points (11 goals, 12 assists) in 19 games. The 27-year-old is part of a 12-player group in the league that has registered double digits in both goals and assists.

Samuel Ersson Placed On Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson (lower body) has been placed on Injured Reserve. The move is retroactive to Nov. 11 and will allow Philadelphia to add some defensive depth from the AHL after suffering a series of injuries. Ersson has been unavailable for two games and is expected to miss 1-2 weeks of action. He has re-aggravated a previous lower-body injury. Ivan Fedotov has taken over the crease, recording back-to-back wins. The Russian netminder had a really difficult start to the campaign but is now on a three-game winning streak, becoming a viable fantasy option until Ersson's return.

Sean Couturier  • C  •  Flyers

Sean Couturier Available On Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (lower body) will re-enter the lineup on Saturday against Buffalo. He missed Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to Ottawa due to a lower-body injury, and the team initially considered him a game-time decision for Saturday. Couturier will take on his normal duties as the first-line center, which pushes Ryan Poehling back to the fourth line. Meanwhile, Morgan Frost will get the night off as a healthy scratch. Couturier is a bad fantasy option in current form, as he's landed on the score sheet just three times in 16 appearances this season.

Sean Couturier  • C  •  Flyers

Sean Couturier Out On Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (lower body) will miss his first game of the season on Thursday versus Ottawa. The veteran is considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Couturier has averaged 0.5 points per game for the campaign, notching three goals and five assists in 16 appearances. His absence opens the door for Morgan Frost to re-enter the lineup. Meanwhile, Ryan Poehling might get some extra action. Returning from a three-game absence on Monday versus San Jose, Poehling showed good chemistry with Matvei Michkov on the third line and picked up an assist.

Samuel Ersson Misses Thursday's Action

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson (lower body) will not play against Ottawa on Thursday. He hurt himself in Wednesday's practice. Ersson has been strong in the Flyers net, going 5-2-2 with one shutout. The Swedish netminder has allowed 2.70 goals with a .902 save percentage. With him on the shelf, Philadelphia will start with Ivan Fedotov between the pipes on Thursday. Fedotov is coming off an impressive 2-1 shootout win against Tampa Bay, but he hasn't played well at all this season. Before limiting the Lightning to one goal, Fedotov had coughed up 14 goals across his first three starts of the campaign. He has a 4.01 goals-against average and a .851 save percentage. Aleksei Kolosov, who is 0-3-0 for the year, will back up Fedotov on Thursday.

Ryan Poehling  • C  •  Flyers

Ryan Poehling Ready To Return On Monday

Philadelphia Flyers center Ryan Poehling (upper body, personal) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is poised to rejoin the lineup against San Jose on Monday. He's been out for three games with an upper-body injury while also dealing with a family matter. Poehling's work includes five assists, eight shots, 20 blocks, and seven hits in 12 outings this season. He will center the third line on Monday, with Anthony Richard and Matvei Michkov skating next to him. Morgan Frost will exit the lineup as a healthy scratch. Michkov's presence on his line will boost Poehling's fantasy appeal on Monday, especially since it's a favorable matchup against a team that allows 3.44 goals per game.

Matvei Michkov Returns To Flyers Lineup Monday

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Matvei Michkov is expected to return to the lineup on Monday versus San Jose. He has been a healthy scratch for the past two games. Sitting on 10 points (four goals, six assists) through his first 13 career appearances, Michkov is tied with Travis Konecny for the scoring lead on the Flyers roster, but he has struggled to make a positive impact during even-strength play. The 19-year-old has notched only three even-strength points and carries a minus-eight rating. Monday's matchup offers Michkov a good opportunity to improve his numbers, as the Sharks have allowed the sixth-most even-strength goals in the league this campaign.

Jamie Drysdale Placed On Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale (upper body) has been placed on Injured Reserve. He was already ruled out for Monday's game against San Jose, with Flyers head coach John Tortorella saying that Drysdale is "dinged up." Now it's clear that Philadelphia will be without Drysdale for at least three games. He's eligible to return to the lineup on Nov. 18 against Colorado. Drysdale has logged three points (one goal, two assists), 12 shots, and 28 blocks through 15 games this season. Veteran Erik Johnson comes into the lineup as his replacement.

Samuel Ersson Returns To Flyers Crease

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson (lower body) will return to the crease on Saturday against Florida. He's been out of commission for a couple of games while recovering from a lower-body injury. Ersson has done solid work for the Flyers, going 4-2-1 with one shutout while allowing 2.68 goals. He has logged a .901 save percentage and was riding a three-game winning streak before getting hurt a week ago against the Bruins. The Swedish netminder makes his comeback in a tough spot, as Florida has the fifth-best scoring record in the league with 3.86 goals averaged per game.

Matvei Michkov  • RW  •  Flyers

Matvei Michkov Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Matvei Michkov will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive game on Saturday against Florida. The Russian forward featured in all 13 Flyers games this season before he was removed from the lineup on Thursday versus Tampa Bay. Michkov was named the Rookie of the Month for October and has notched 10 points (four goals, six assists) in his first 13 career games. However, he's done most of his scoring on the power play and is carrying a minus-eight rating, which is probably one of the reasons why Flyers head coach John Tortorella has sat Michkov. Anthony Richard entered the lineup as his replacement on Thursday.

Aleksei Kolosov Injured In Pregame Skate On Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Aleksei Kolosov (undisclosed) suffered an apparent injury during the team's skate on Thursday and is unlikely to start against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Kolosov was the expected start for the Thursday night game, but it looks like Ivan Fedotov will have to fill in. Kolosov may be able to back up Fedotov tonight, but if he can't it will likely be an EBUG situation. Fedotov isn't a recommended streamer for fantasy, as he carries an abysmal 0-3 record, .821 SV%, and 5.35 GAA through three games this season.

Matvei Michkov Will Be A Healthy Scratch On Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers winger Matvei Michkov won't play on Thursday night. Nothing is wrong with Michkov, as head coach John Tortorella has simply decided to scratch the rookie phenom. It is an interesting choice, as the Flyers have struggled to score and Michkov has 10 points (four goals, six assists) in 13 games to start his NHL career. The reasons for the benching aren't totally clear, as Tortz said it was "part of the process". Regardless, Michkov should be back in next game and hopefully won't be a healthy scratch much more this season. It is certainly annoying for fantasy managers, though.
