Ersson will start on Thursday vs. Toronto.

Vladar will start Tuesday's game against the Avalanche.

Vladar will get the surprise nod on Tuesday after Jacob Markstrom was scratched from his previously scheduled start due to a lower-body injury. Vladar will be hoping to bounce back from a rough performance on Sunday, when he surrendered seven goals in a blowout loss to the Hurricanes. Vladar owns an underwhelming .885 SV% on the season to go along with an 8-8-2 record. Things won't get any easier from him on Tuesday as he's set to take on Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche.

Ersson will start on Tuesday vs. San Jose.

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.

Konecny (upper body) will return on Thursday vs. Florida.

Konecny has missed the Flyers' previous six games but will return to the lineup on Thursday in Florida. It is a much-welcomed return as Konecny leads Philadelphia in both goals (27) and points (54) while leading all forwards in average TOI (19:54). He should resume his role in the Flyers' top-six and continue to be their main scoring option on powerplays.

Ersson will start on Thursday in Florida.

Ersson will take over the Flyers' crease for a second-straight game as he looks to avenge a 24-save (.960 SV%) overtime loss to St. Louis in his last start. The 24-year-old rookie has struggled since taking over the Flyers' starting position full-time, with his 17-12-5 record, 2.57 GAA and .899 SV%. He draws the unfortunate task of taking on the red-hot Florida Panthers, who are in the midst of a six-game winning streak and have won 12 of their last 13 contests.

Konecny (upper body) is a game-time decision on Thursday vs. Florida.

Konecny has not played since February 21st, missing six games with an upper-body injury, but appears to be nearing a return after being a full participant at practice on Wednesday. Before his injury, Konecy was producing at a blistering pace, scoring 12 points (5G / 7A) during a seven-game point streak. The Flyers return to the ice on Thursday against the Florida Panthers.
