Philadelphia Flyers News
The Jets have signed Nate Thompson to a one-year deal worth $750K.
Thompson has been making his rounds in recent years, as he lands with his sixth team in five years. The 36-year-old provides almost no offence but will serve as a fourth-line centre and is a quality penalty-killer.
The Maple Leafs have signed Wayne Simmonds to a one-year deal worth $1.5M.
The Maple Leafs made it know that they wanted to get tougher to play against heading into 2021 and Simmonds brings some goal-scoring and toughness to the lineup. He's not the 30-goal scorer he used to be and will be a bottom-6 forward in Toronto but has averaged 14 goals, 17 assists (31 points) and 157 hits per 82 games over the last two seasons.
The Flyers have signed Justin Braun to a two-year contract worth $3.6 million ($1.8M AAV).
The Flyers were likely going to let Braun walk in free agency but with the surprising news that Matt Niskanen is retiring, they got to work on re-signing Braun. The 33-year-old scored three goals with 16 assists (19 points) in 62 games while ranking third among Flyers' defensemen in hits (91) and tied for second in blocked shots (84).
Couturier is on the ice for warmups; could play in Game 7 vs. the Islanders.
Couturier is not on the ice for warmups; will not play in Game 6.
Couturier is questionable for Game 6 vs. the Islanders.
Couturier was hurt in a collision with Mathew Barzal late in the second period and did not return for the third. Head coach Alain Vigneault did not have an update on Couturier's status on Wednesday but said that he was "still being evaluated." Consider Couturier a game-time decision for Game 6.
Line Change
Laughton will draw into the Flyers lineup for Game 3.
Line Change
Laughton will be scratched in Game 2 vs. the Islanders.
Johnson is expected to miss the remainder of the playoffs.
Johnson is out indefinitely after suffering an injury in Game 1 vs. the Stars.
Konecny is on the ice for warmups; expected to play in Game 4.
The Predators have signed Anthony Richard to a one-year, two-way contract extension ($735k/65k).
The Flyers have signed Linus Hogberg to a two-year, entry-level contract.
The Flyers signed Linus Sandin to a one-year, entry-level contract.
Sandin was a 23-year-old undrafted free agent out of Sweden. The centre spent the last three years in the Swedish Elite League and is coming off of a year where he led HV71 Jonkoping in goals (19) and was second in points (36).
The Blackhawks signed Evan Barratt to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Barratt was a third-round pick in the 2017 draft and wrapped up his junior year at Penn State University tied for the team-lead in goals (12) and second in points (34) in 34 games. the 21-year-old centre had one goal in seven games while representing the USA in the 2019 World Juniors.
Goalie Start
Petersen is expected to start Wednesday vs. the Senators.
Petersen allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Kings win over the Wild last Saturday. Petersen is riding a three-game winning streak, posting a 1.67 GAA and .953 SV% in the process. Tonight he'll face a Senators team that played in Anaheim last night and have lost seven of their last eight road games (1-5-2) while scoring just 1.88 goals per game.
Seeler will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.
Seeler and Lucas Carlsson have been alternating games over the last month and Seeler will come out tonight vs. the Sharks after dressing for the last two games.
The Flyers have signed Wyatte Wylie to a three-year entry-level contract.
Wylie was selected in the fifth-round pick in 2018 and is second among WHL defensemen with 64 points (14G / 50A) in 62 games.
