Couturier has played all 10 games for the Flyers this season, recording eight points (2G / 6A), but will not play on Friday due to a lower-body injury. Injuries are extra concerning when it comes to Couturier but, fortunately for the Flyers, this does not seem to be related to the back complications that forced him to miss the majority of the previous three seasons. Couturier missed the 2022-23 campaign in its entirety due to injuries and only played 74 combined games in the two seasons prior.

With Carter Hart suffering a mid-body injury in Wednesday's game, Petersen earns the call-up where he'll likely split the Flyers' Friday/Saturday back-to-back with Samuel Ersson. Petersen, who was acquired from the Kings in the offseason, has got 1-3-0 with a 3.76 GAA and .884 SV% in four AHL games this season.

Poehling will be a healthy scratch for the first time this season, allowing Morgan Frost to return to the Flyers' lineup after being a healthy scratch for six consecutive games. Poehling has a -1 plus/minus rating and zero points while averaging 11:32 time-on-ice through eight games this season.

Frost has been a healthy scratch the last six games and will return to the Flyers' lineup on Monday, replacing Ryan Poehling. Frost broke out last season, recording 46 points (19G / 27A) in 81 games but hasn't had the favour of John Tortorella and the Flyers' coaching staff early this season. He is likely to slot on the second line with Travis Konecny and Tyson Foerster.

Ersson allowed five goals on 25 shots in the Flyers' loss in Dallas last Saturday. Carter Hart started the last two games, but Ersson will get another shot on Saturday afternoon. It will be his 14th career appearance, he's gone 6-3-1 with a 3.22 GAA, .892 SV% and one shutout in the first 13.

Zamula will sit for the second time this season despite an impressive offensive output through his first two games.

The 21-year-old was off to a great start through two games this season, with two assists, three SOG and a +3 plus/minus. Drysdale will hope this is only a minor injury after missing 74 games in 2022-23 due to a torn labrum.
