Philadelphia Flyers News
Goalie Start
Vladar led the Flames onto the ice for warmups.
Ristolainen (upper-body) will make his Flyers debut on Wednesday.
Ristolainen missed the first two games of the season with an upper-body injury but will play Wednesday vs. the Bruins. Look for Ristolainen to skate on the second pairing with Travis Sanheim in his debut.
Ristolaien (upper-body) will not play Monday vs. the Kraken.
Ristolaien was on the ice for Sunday's practice but will remain out of the lineup on Monday. Nick Seeler will play in Ristolainen's spot again. Consider Ristolainen day-to-day and expect him to make his debut later this week.
Ristolainen (upper-body) will miss the Flyers season opener on Friday.
Ristolainen was acquired from the Sabres this offseason but his Flyers debut will have to wait, as he's sidelined by an upper-body injury. With Ristolainen sidelined, Nick Seeler will skate on the third pairing next to Keith Yandle.
The Canucks have acquired Noah Juulsen and Juho Lammikko from the Panthers for Olli Juolevi.
Juulsen is a former first-round pick who had his career thrown off track due to headache issues but gets a fresh start in Vancouver. It's a homecoming for the Surrey, BC native, who had no points in four NHL games and one assists in five AHL games a season ago.
The Flyers have signed J.R. Avon to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Avon joined the Flyers on an Amateur Try-Out but signed a three-year entry-level contract. The 18-year-old, undrafted free agent scored four goals with seven assists in 56 games with the Peterborough Petes (OHL) in 2019-20.
The Canadiens have acquired Christian Dvorak from the Coyotes for a 2022 1st round and 2024 2nd round draft picks.
The Flyers have signed Sean Couturier to an eight-year contract extension worth $62 million.
The Flyers have re-signed Travis Sanheim to a two-year contract.
The Sharks have signed Lane Pederson to a two-year contract.
The Flyers have signed Nick Seeler to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Predators have re-signed Anthony Richard to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Flames have acquired Daniel Vladar from the Bruins for a 3rd round pick.
The Sharks have acquired Lane Pederson from the Coyotes for a 2024 fourth-round pick.
The Flyers have signed Nate Thompson to a one-year contract worth $800K.
The Panthers have signed Noah Juulsen to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
Juulsen was claimed off of waivers in January but didn't play a lot of hockey afterwards. He went pointless in four games with the Panthers and had just one assist in five games with Syracuse (AHL). Headaches derailed his career in Montreal but he'll be looking to get back on track with the Panthers in 2021-22.
The Flyers have acquired Rasmus Ristolainen from the Sabres for Robert Hagg, the No.13 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft and a 2023 second-round draft pick.
Ristolainen's game appears to be heading in the wrong direction but the Flyers must not think so. They have given up a considerable amount of assets to have Ristolainen replace Shayne Gostisbehere in 2021-22. After four-straight seasons of 40-plus points from 2016-to-2019, Ristolainen has averaged seven goals and 29 assists (36 points) per 82 games over the last two years. He remains big and tough to play against and will undoubtedly be a part of the Flyers top-4 with either Ivan Provorov or Travis Sanheim.
The Maple Leafs have signed Wayne Simmonds to a two-year, $1.8 million contract extension.
The Flyers have signed Linus Sandin to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
