Gostisbehere has missed the last three games but is set to return on Saturday afternoon. Gosisbehere has been a bit disappointing this season, picking up just 20 points (5G / 15A) in 48 games.


Gostisbehere was a late-scratch from Monday’s game against the Jets and has already been ruled out for Tuesday’s game in New York. Look for Ivan Provorov and Travis Sanheim to play huge minutes and eat-up the power-play time while Gostisbehere is out.

Gostisbehere was expected to be in the Flyers lineup on Monday but the team announced he would miss the game right at 7:00 pm. This is a tough break for them as the Flyers lack offensive talent on the back-end outside of Gostisbehere, Ivan Provorov and Travis Sanheim.



Gostisbehere has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Saturday in Toronto, but he was on the ice for today’s morning skate and he said he feels good enough to play. It sounds like Gostisbehere will return, but he is officially listed as a game-time decision.

Gostisbehere will miss the Flyers back-to-back on Wednesday/Thursday but has not been ruled out for Saturday’s home game against the Avalanche. With Gostisbehere still out, Ivan Provorov will continue to be leaned on as the Flyers’ No.1 defenseman.

Gostisbehere had to leave Saturday’s game in Toronto with a potential head injury after being blasted from behind by Leo Komarov. With Gostisbehere out, Robert Hagg is skating on the top-pairing with Ivan Provorov and Provorov is on the top power-play unit. Either Samue Morin or Mark Alt will draw into the lineup to game Gostisbehere’s spot.

Despite Gostisbehere saying that he is ready to play on Wednesday, he skated on the Flyers’ fourth-pairing during Tuesday’s practice, which suggests that he may sit vs. the Sharks. Monitor his status during the Flyers’ morning skate tomorrow.

Gostisbehere served as a healthy scratch in the last three games, but will draw back into the lineup tonight after the Flyers were shutout in two straight games. Gostisbehere had a sensational rookie campaign, but has had some struggles in 2016-17. The man known as the “Ghost Bear” has four goals and 17 assists (21 points) in 48 games this season.


Gostisbehere has had a difficult season, recording 21 points (4G / 17A) in 48 games this season, which has him well off of last year’s pace. Gostisbehere will be scratched and replaced by Nick Schultz.

Gostisbehere missed Sunday’s game with a swollen hand, but said he is good-to-go Wednesday in Colorado. Gostisbehere has registered an assist in four straight games and has four goals and 12 assists (16 points) in 29 games this season.




Gostisbehere has picked up 10 points (3G / 7A) in 17 games this season, but will be a healthy scratch on Thursday. Andrew MacDonald is expected to return to the lineup from a lower-body injury and replace the Flyers’ top offensive defenseman.

Gostisbehere skated on Thursday and says he will return to the lineup on Saturday. Gostisbehere has missed the last two games, but his availability means that Brandon Manning will likely become a healthy scratch.
