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.
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.

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.
