Abols was a late scratch on Tuesday, with the team not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Nicolas Deslauriers will draw into the lineup in his place.

With Samuel Ersson (undisclosed) still sidelined, Vladar remains the Flyers' number-one option between the pipes, and he will return there on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens. The 28-year-old Vladar has been solid this season but is coming off his worst performance of 2025-25, allowing four games on 19 shots (.789 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He has a 2.11 GAA and .924 SV% in seven games this season (4-3-0). The Flyers enter Tuesday's matchup with the Canadiens as +139 road underdogs.

Foerster was drafted 23rd overall by the Flyers in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and has shown strides towards becoming a reliable offensive producer at the NHL level. After scoring a career-high 43 points (25G / 18A) in 81 games last season, he was off to a strong start in 2025-26, with seven points (4G / 3A) in 11 games. That said, his production will need to be temporarily halted as he is expected to miss at least a few games due to a lower-body injury after blocking a shot in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Andrae has been unable to secure a permanent fixture on the Flyers' roster this season, limited to only two games, but will get another shot after being recalled from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL). The 23-year-old defenseman recorded seven points (1G / 6A) in 42 games with the Flyers last season. Tyson Foerster (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move.

Andrae has been unable to secure a permanent fixture on the Flyers' roster this season, limited to only two games, and will return to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL). The 23-year-old defenseman recorded seven points (1G / 6A) in 42 games with the Flyers last season.

Gaucher is an undrafted forward that made his NHL debut last season, going scoreless in four games with the Flyers. The 24-year-old has two points (1G / 1A) in eight games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) this season. The Flyers assigned Emil Andrae to to Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Couturier was limited to only 5:17 time-on-ice in Thursday' 4-1 win over the Nashville Predators, exiting the contest with an undisclosed injury. The 32-year-old Couturier was off to a productive start to the 2025-26 season, with nine points (2G / 7A) in 10 games.

Ersson has taken a backseat to Dan Vladar early in the 2025-26 season, due to Vladar's strong play. The 26-year-old Ersson is not expected to miss significant time, but his absence will further allow Vladar to make his case to be the starting goalie in Philadelphia. Erson has a 3.08 GAA and .876 SV% in four games this season (2-1-1). The Flyers have recalled Aleksei Kolosov from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) in a corresponding move.

Kolosov made his NHL debut with Philadelphia last season, posting a 3.59 GAA and .867 SV% in 17 games (5-9-1). The 23-year-old Belarusian goalie has started the season strong with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL), posting a 2.60 GAA and .918 SV% in five games (3-2-0). He will likely serve as the backup to Dan Vlader while he is with the Flyers until Samuel Ersson returns from an undisclosed injury.
