Fedotov will start vs. Toronto on Tuesday.

Fedotov played his first game in over a month in the Flyers' previous outing, a 3-2 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He will be rewarded with another start on Tuesday in a rematch against the Maple Leafs. The towering 6'6 Fedotov has struggled at the NHL level, posting a 3.42 GAA and .877 SV% despite salvaging a serviceable 4-4-2 record. The Flyers enter Tuesday's contest as +112 home underdogs against a Maple Leafs club riding a four-game winning streak.

Kolosov will start in Vegas on Thursday.

With Samuel Ersson (lower body) sidelined, Kolosov will start for the Flyers on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Kolosov was solid relieving an injured Ersson on Tuesday, saving all seven shots he faced in a 4-0 win over the San Jose Sharks. That said, the 22-year-old Kolosov has battled adversity in his first NHL season, posting a 3.39 GAA and .872 SV% in 14 appearances (4-7-1). The Flyers enter Thursday's contest as +175 road underdogs against a Golden Knights squad whose six-game losing skid snapped in a 3-2 loss against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.

Ersson (lower-body) is considered day-to-day and unlikely to play on Thursday vs. Vegas.

Ersson left Tuesday's game vs. San Jose in the second period with a lower-body injury after stopping all 17 of the Sharks' shots he faced but is unfortunately unlikely to play on Thursday in Vegas. He is considered day-to-day and if he misses any period, expect Aleksei Kolosov to take over the crease in his absence.

Samuel Ersson
Ersson left Tuesday’s game with an undisclosed injury and did not return.

Ersson saved all 15 shots he faced in an eventual 2-0 win over the San Jose Sharks but exited the game after two periods due to an undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old Ersson had saved 47 of 48 shots in his last two appearances (2-0-0) leading up to his injury. The Flyers will likely provide an update on Ersson before they return to the ice on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Ersson will start in San Jose on Tuesday.

The Flyers are coming off a disappointing 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Kings and will revert to Ersson between the pipes on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks. Ersson was stellar in his most recent outing, saving 32 of 33 shots (.970 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks. That said, he has a less impressive 3.14 GAA and .880 SV% in 18 games this season (8-6-2). The Flyer enter Tuesday's contest as -168 road favorites against a Sharks club amid a seven-game losing skid (0-6-1).

Couturier (personal) will return in Pittsburgh on Monday.

Couturier did not play on Saturday due to personal reasons but will draw back into the lineup on Monday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 32-year-old Couturier has 17 points (6G / 11A) in 32 games this season but has been held off the scoresheet in seven of his last nine.

Ersson will start in Pittsburgh on Monday.

The Flyers narrowly snapped a three-game losing skid on Saturday, a 5-4 extra-time win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Ersson saved 21 of 25 shots (.840 SV) in the victory and has struggled to keep the puck out of his net lately, allowing three or more goals in seven straight (3-3-1) and posting a .856 SV%. The Flyers enter Monday's contest as +105 road underdogs against a Pittsburgh Penguins club that only managed 12 shots on goal in their most recent outing, a 3-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils.
