Arttu Hyry - First career goal comes shorthanded Hyry scored a shorthanded goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers.
Impact This was Hyry's 18th career game, and he was able to come through with a goal late in the second period. The 24-year-old forward is seeing steady bottom-six minutes while the Stars deal with a brutal run of injuries to forwards. He's earned two points, 16 shots on net, 19 hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 13 appearances this season.

Casey DeSmith - Plays well in overtime loss DeSmith stopped 28 of 30 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers.
Impact DeSmith did his part, but the Stars' top players were held silent while the Flyers got goals from Travis Konecny and Trevor Zegras. The 34-year-old DeSmith has lost four straight outings, allowing 11 goals on 100 shots during that 0-3-1 span. For the season, he's down to 14-7-6 with a 2.38 GAA and a .909 save percentage even with the recent fade. Jake Oettinger will likely get the nod in Boston on Tuesday to close out the road trip, but DeSmith could pick up some playing time late in the campaign if the Stars get locked into the No. 2 spot in the Central Division, which is looking likely.

Travis Konecny - Buries power-play goal in win Konecny scored a power-play goal on five shots and added two hits in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Stars.
Impact Konecny's last four points have all come with the man advantage over a five-game span. The 29-year-old forward is on the Flyers' top unit, but prior to this stretch, he went 10 contests without a power-play point. The winger has 26 goals, 63 points (14 on the power play), 154 shots on net, 92 hits, 55 PIM, 36 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 69 appearances this season.

Trevor Zegras - Seals win in overtime Zegras scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Stars.
Impact Zegras extended his point streak to five games and snapped an eight-game goal drought with his marker at 3:27 of overtime. It was his fourth game-winner of the season, and he's matched his career high of 23 goals, which he achieved in both his second and third NHL campaigns. The 25-year-old forward is up to 59 points, 156 shots on net, 37 hits, 23 blocked shots, 52 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 73 outings this year.

Samuel Ersson - Earns overtime win Ersson stopped 17 of 18 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Stars.
Impact Ersson has won his last five decisions, allowing just eight goals on 118 shots over six contests in that span. The 26-year-old netminder was able to limit the damage to an Arttu Hyry shorthanded goal in Sunday's contest. Ersson is up to 13-10-5 with a 3.11 GAA and an .870 save percentage over 30 appearances this season, but he's been rock-solid when called upon since the Olympic break. Dan Vladar will likely be between the pipes Tuesday versus the Capitals, but the Flyers have a back-to-back later in the week that should allow Ersson to make another start in short order.
