Tyson Foerster Celebrates First Hat Trick In Flyers Win

Philadelphia Flyers forward Tyson Foerster continued his late-season scoring surge with his first career hat trick in Wednesday's 8-5 triumph over the New York Rangers. After scoring three goals in four games, Foerster lit the lamp three times in a single contest, wrapping up his hat trick with an empty-net goal. He has become the second Flyers player in the past 15 years to record multiple 20-goal seasons at age 23 or younger. Foerster boasts 22 markers and 39 points in 77 games. The young forward will look to keep his hot streak going against the reeling New York Islanders on Saturday afternoon.

Ivan Fedotov Sharp Against Nashville

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ivan Fedotov stopped 28 of the 29 shots he saw en route to defeating the Nashville Predators on Monday evening. The Predators dominated the shot total in this contest, but Fedotov was able to lead the way. His lone blemish came in the second frame when Zachary L'Heureux found the back of the net for his fifth goal of the season. This was a nice bounce-back outing for Fedotov as he carried a 0-5 record into Monday's game. During this skid, Fedotov posted a 3.54 GAA with an .858 save percentage. In his previous game leading up to Monday, he allowed seven goals. Fantasy managers should continue to expect Samuel Ersson to see most of the remaining starts. Fedotov should only be deployed as a deep-league streaming option in favorable matchups.

Matvei Michkov Continues Hot Stretch On Monday

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Matvei Michkov tallied two assists during their 2-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Monday evening, which extended his point streak to six games. In this contest, he tallied one secondary helper and primary, both during 5-on-5 play. During this six-game stretch, Michkov has found the back of the net four times and added seven helpers. However, Michkov has done most of the damage over his past three contests as he has scored four goals and added three assists. Through 74 total games in his rookie campaign, the former seventh overall selection has found the back of the net 24 times and added 34 helpers. He has averaged 2.4 shots on goal per game and tallied 15 of his points on the power play. He will look to stay hot on Saturday against the Montreal Canadiens.

Garnet Hathaway Rejoins Flyers Lineup

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Garnet Hathaway (upper body) will replace Nicolas Deslauriers in the lineup on Monday against the Nashville Predators. The power forward was injured on a hit by Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bokondji Imama on Feb. 27. He has missed 15 games, though Hathaway has been practicing for over a week. Hathaway has collected 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) in 60 games and leads the Flyers with 218 hits. The 33-year-old will skate on the fourth line with Olle Lycksell and Rodrigo Abols.

Rasmus Ristolainen Not Expected To Return This Season

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body) will likely remain on the shelf for the rest of the season. "The plan is to not have him back this season," Flyers interim head coach Brad Shaw said. "I'm not 100 percent on what the timeline looks like, but I can't imagine he would be playing in the next couple weeks." Ristolainen will be out of action for a 10th consecutive game on Monday against the Nashville Predators. He has posted 19 points (4 goals, 15 assists), 100 shots, 94 blocks, and 97 hits in 63 games this season.

Matvei Michkov Scores Twice, Adds Assist On Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers rookie right wing Matvei Michkov scored two goals and added an assist during their victory on Thursday against the Montreal Canadiens. Michkov opened the scoring in the first period on a wrist shot. Later in the frame, he added the primary helper on Sean Couturier's 13th goal of the season. Michkov concluded his evening with his second goal in the third period. This outing extended his current point streak to four games. During this stretch, Michkov has scored twice and added five helpers. Before this recent surge, the former No. 7 overall pick was riding a six-game scoreless streak. Throughout his debut campaign, Michkov has scored 22 goals and added 32 helpers, with 15 of his points coming on the power play. He remains a solid option in standard leagues as he plays on the top forward line.

Ivan Fedotov Starts Against Lightning

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ivan Fedotov will be in the crease for Monday's tough matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Fedotov carries a 5-11-3 record for the campaign and is unlikely to improve it against a Lightning team that boasts the second-best offense in the league and a 23-8-2 home record. However, Fedotov was victorious in this matchup on Nov. 7, saving 22 of 23 shots in a 2-1 shootout win. Four of Fedotov's five wins this season came in November. The Russian netminder has not recorded a single shutout, allowing 3.08 goals for the campaign with a poor .884 save percentage.

Rasmus Ristolainen • D • Flyers

Rasmus Ristolainen Day-To-Day With Upper-Body Injury

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body) is viewed as day-to-day. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status leading up to their next contest on Saturday evening against the Hurricanes as he may face an uphill battle to suit up. If he were to miss this contest, fantasy managers should expect Egor Zemula to enter the starting lineup and play alongside rookie Emil Andrae on the bottom pairing. Ristolainen was unable to play during their previous game on Thursday evening as well. Before his injury, the 30-year-old was held off the scoresheet over his last six games. However, during this stretch, he logged 10 hits with seven blocks. Before this offensive slump, Ristolainen tallied six points over his last seven. When he is cleared to return, he will only carry value in deeper formats that reward hits and blocked shots.

Rasmus Ristolainen Unavailable Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (undisclosed) will not play in Thursday's contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning. According to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Ristolainen is "banged up", suggesting he isn't dealing with a serious injury. However, the Finnish blue-liner needs to take some time off to heal. Egor Zamula will re-enter the lineup as Ristolainen's replacement. Zamula has gone scoreless in five consecutive appearances, but he has sometimes chipped in offensively. In 47 outings this season, the 24-year-old has recorded three goals and 14 points. With that said, Zamula will only see third-pairing minutes on Thursday, and it's a tough matchup for his crew, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to make a significant impact.

Cam York Sits Out Saturday's Game

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Cam York will not be in the lineup on Saturday against the Seattle Kraken. Emil Andrae will replace him in the Flyers defense. York has had a tough time throughout the 2024-25 season and is currently on a six-game point drought. Overall, he has managed four goals and 13 points in 49 games for the season. The 24-year-old ranks third on the team with 97 blocked shots. Andrea will make his 25th appearance of the season. On the offensive end, he has contributed one goal and five assists. The Swedish blue-liner is not a regular scorer and should remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.

Garnet Hathaway Avoids Serious Injury

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Garnet Hathaway (undisclosed) underwent several tests after exiting Thursday's contest early. All of his results came back negative, and it appears that the 33-year-old has avoided a significant injury. Hathaway exited Thursday's contest after taking a hard hit. Before exiting, he logged just over five minutes of ice time with four hits. Over his previous nine contests, Hathaway has tallied two points (both goals) with +2 rating, six penalty minutes, and 34 hits. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status but the team has not given a definitive timetable for his potential return. For the time being, Nicolas Deslauriers will likely draw into the starting lineup and play on the fourth line. Through 10 games this season, Deslauriers has tallied just one point with 18 hits.

Jakob Pelletier Ready For Action After 4 Nations Face-Off

Philadelphia Flyers forward Jakob Pelletier will finally be available to make his team debut when the 4 Nations Face-Off concludes. The Calgary Flames traded Pelletier to Philadelphia on Jan. 30 alongside Andrei Kuzmenko, but the 23-year-old has not been able to suit up for his new team due to visa issues. Pelletier, a 2019 first-round pick, showed glimpses of good potential with the Flames but did not receive much ice time. He averaged 12:38 of action across 24 games this season, posting four goals and 11 points. A fresh start in Philadelphia may give him a boost.

Travis Konecny • RW • Flyers

Travis Konecny Returns To Practice, Expected To Play On Wednesday

According to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports, Philadelphia Flyers left wing Travis Konecny (illness) returned to practice on Tuesday after missing Monday's session. He replaced Sam Bennett on Team Canada's fourth line. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Konecny to play on this line on Wednesday evening alongside Anthony Cirelli and Brandon Hagel when they face Team Sweden. If Konecny were to face a setback before the contest, Bennett would draw back into the starting lineup. Entering the tournament, Konecny tallied just three points (one goal, two helpers) over his last six games. However, before this slump, he tallied eight points over his previous six games. Given his role on the fourth line, he should be viewed as a high-risk option in DFS competitions this evening.

Rasmus Ristolainen To Sit Out 4 Nations Face-Off

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body) will not play in the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off. After sustaining an upper-body injury, Ristolainen has been forced to sit out three games and will not be ready to help Team Finland in the tournament, which begins next week. Across 54 appearances this season, Ristolainen has recorded 15 points (two goals, 13 assists), 74 shots, 85 blocks, and 83 hits. Nikolas Matinpalo of the Ottawa Senators will replace Ristolainen on Finland's roster. Matinpalo has only 22 career NHL appearances under his belt, with no points recorded. The Finland defense will also be without Miro Heiskanen (knee) of the Dallas Stars and Jani Hakanpaa (lower body) of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Samuel Ersson Stands Tall Against Pittsburgh

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson stopped 31 of the 33 shots he faced en route to defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday evening. The Flyers were heavily outshot in this contest, but Ersson was able to lead the way. He allowed his first goal to Pittsburgh defenseman Erik Karlsson in the second frame and his second goal to Anthony Beauvillier in the third. This outing snapped a three-game slump for Ersson. During this stretch, he held a 0-2-1 record and allowed at least three goals in each contest. Prior to that stretch, Ersson posted an impressive 6-1 record with a .918 percent SV and a 2.13 GAA over his previous eight contests. The 25-year-old will look to carry this momentum into their first game out of the international break against the Edmonton Oilers.

Owen Tippett Will Remain Sidelined On Thursday

According to Jordan Hall of NBCS Philly, Philadelphia Flyers right wing Owen Tippett (upper body) will remain sidelined on Thursday evening when the Flyers face the Washington Capitals. The 25-year-old has missed their previous three games and is now on track to miss his fourth straight. Prior to the injury, Tippett tallied six points (three goals, three assists) over his previous 10 contests. Tippett will have one more opportunity to return to action on Saturday evening to face the Penguins before the international break. Overall, the 25-year-old has scored 14 goals and added 16 helpers across 52 games. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Tyson Foerster to continue to play on the top line alongside Noah Cates and Bobby Brink. Rodrigo Abols should also continue to have a role in the top six.

Owen Tippett Considered Day-To-Day Ahead Of Tuesday's Game

According to the team, Philadelphia Flyers right wing Owen Tippett (upper body) is considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game against the Utah Hockey Club. Tippett sustained this injury during their loss to the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday evening. Tippett has missed their previous two games and could be in danger of missing his third straight. Fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his status leading up to puck drop. Before the injury, the 25-year-old tallied six points (three goals, three helpers) over his previous 10 games. Across 52 total games, Tippett has scored 14 goals and added 16 helpers. He has logged 75 hits and 46 blocked shots. Anthony Richard should continue to see minutes on the second line if he remains sidelined.

Rasmus Ristolainen Labeled As Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body) is considered day-to-day by the team. The Finnish blue-liner sustained an upper-body injury during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Colorado. However, he is not expected to be sidelined for an extended period. Philadelphia returns to action on Tuesday night against the Utah Hockey Club. Ristolainen ranks third in both blocks (85) and hits (83) on the Flyers roster and has totaled 15 points (two goals, 13 assists) in 54 games. The team played with seven defensemen on Sunday, so a forward might replace Ristolainen in the lineup against Utah.

Owen Tippett Not Expected To Play On Sunday

According to Jordan Hall of NBCS Philadelphia, Flyers right wing Owen Tippett (undisclosed) is not expected to suit up on Sunday when they face the Colorado Avalanche. Tippett is traveling with the team on their two-game road trip but will likely need additional time to recover. The 25-year-old sat out during their previous game on Thursday against the New York Islanders. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status leading up to their next match on Tuesday evening against the Utah Hockey Club. Over his previous three games, Tippett has been held off the scoresheet. However, before this cold stretch, he tallied three goals and three helpers over his past seven contests. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Tyson Forester to continue to slot in on the top unit alongside Noah Cates and Travis Konecny.

Egor Zamula Placed On Injured Reserve

According to Brandon J. Sommermann of The Brother Bullies, the Philadelphia Flyers are placing defenseman Egor Zamula (upper body) on Injured Reserve, retroactive to Jan. 24. The 24-year-old has missed their previous four contests. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as he is eligible to return at any time since he has already been sidelined for the minimum timeframe. While sidelined, Erik Johnson has entered the starting lineup and has played on the bottom pairing. Before his injury, Zamula tallied just two points over his previous eight contests. Overall, the 24-year-old has tallied three goals and eight assists across 39 contests. While he has not been productive in the scoring department, he has tallied 59 blocked shots with 15 hits.
