The Flyers made two transactions on Monday morning, recalling Lycksell and Adam Ginning from the Lehigh-Valley Phantoms (AHL). Lycksell played nine games with the Flyers this season but has spent most of his time in the AHL, scoring 38 points (19G / 19A) in 36 games with the Phantoms.
Ersson has been the go-to guy between the pipes for the Flyers lately and will return to the crease on Thursday for his fifth straight start. In his last outing, Ersson saved 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) in a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks. Less than a month ago, Ersson allowed four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Flyers enter action as +108 home underdogs against the Maple Leafs on Thursday.

Less than a month ago, Ersson allowed four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Flyers enter action as +108 home underdogs against the Maple Leafs on Thursday.
Ginning made his season debut with the Flyers last week, his second career game, but has been sent back down to the AHL. In 53 games with the Lehigh-Valley Phantoms (AHL), Ginning has 13 points (2G / 11A).
Immediately after being acquired in a trade for Sean Walker and a first-round pick, the Flyers placed Johansen on waivers and is now out indefinitely with a hip injury. Johansen struggled with the Avalanche, scoring only 23 points (13G / 10A) in 63 games and his future this season is largely uncertain.
Bobby Brink will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday as Deslauriers will return to the press box as a healthy scratch for the second time in the last four games. Deslauriers has three points (0G / 3A) in 86 penalty minutes in 56 games this season.
Nicolas Deslauries will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Brink to make his return to the Flyers lineup. Brink has been out of the lineup for the last two games, but has two points (2G / 0A) in his last four contests.
Ersson has been inconsistent lately but will return to the crease for the fourth straight game on Tuesday. In his last seven games (3-3-1), Ersson has allowed two or fewer goals five times but also allowed four or more twice. He had a forgettable performance in his last games, allowing four goals in 15 shots (.733 SV%) in an eventual 7-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. That said, the Flyers have a favourable matchup as -320 home favourites against the San Jose Sharks.
Zamula did not play on Saturday due to an illness but should return to the lineup on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks. The 23-year-old defender has 17 points (5G / 12A), 25 hits, and 60 blocks in 52 games.
Ginning made his season debut with the Flyers last week, his second career game, and could draw back into the lineup again after being recalled on Monday. In 53 games with the Lehigh-Valley Phantoms (AHL), Ginning has 13 points (2G / 11A).
Ginning will return to the AHL after making his NHL season debut for the Flyers on Thursday. Ginning has two goals and 11 assists in 52 games with Lehigh Valley this season.
Lycksell will return to the AHL after a four-game stint with the Flyers. He is yet to register a goal but has managed three assists in nine games with the Flyers this season.
Ginning will play just his second career NHL game on Thursday, drawing into the Flyers' lineup for Marc Staal. He has two goals and 11 assists in 52 games with Lehigh Valley (AHL) this season.
Deslauriers will draw right back into the lineup on Thursday after sitting out Monday's game against the Blues. He is yet to score a goal in 54 games this season.
