Dan Vladar - Unavailable for Saturday Vladar (undisclosed) isn't expected to play at home Saturday versus the Rangers, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Impact Vladar also missed Wednesday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh because of the injury. He has a 16-7-4 record, 2.46 GAA and .905 save percentage in 28 appearances this season. Vladar is still regarded as day-to-day, so he might be an option Monday in Vegas. Until Vladar is ready to return, Samuel Ersson and Aleksei Kolosov will compete for starts.

Denver Barkey - Garners two helpers in loss Barkey notched two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Barkey was scratched in Buffalo on Wednesday, and he responded well when he checked back into the lineup. His line with Sean Couturier and Matvei Michkov was arguably the Flyers' best unit in a game where no one looked all that good. Barkey has a goal, four assists, 14 shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-1 rating over 12 appearances. He'll need to continue to prove himself to avoid a demotion to AHL Lehigh Valley, but Barkey's competitive, two-way game bodes well for his long-term future in the NHL.

Nick Seeler - Nets goal in loss Seeler scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Seeler's tally midway through the third period was too late to flip the script on this game. He's scored both of his goals this season over the last seven games, and he has three points in January after being limited to one assist in December. The defenseman has seven points, 61 shots on net, 79 hits, 89 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 46 appearances while filling a shutdown role on the blue line.

Matvei Michkov - First goal in 10 games Michkov scored a goal Thursday in a 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact It was the talented winger's first goal in 10 games (three assists). Michkov has 10 goals, 14 assists and 45 shots in 45 games. He sits seventh in team scoring, and he's on pace for just 41 points. That's a 22 point drop for Michkov, who finished second in team scoring with 63 points last season. He finished in a tie with Macklin Celebrini for second in rookie scoring last year, but unlike Celebrini, Michkov is suffering from the sophomore flu. He'll rebound eventually, but this is not what his managers or the team expected.

Rodrigo Abols - Sweet deflection for rare goal Abols scored a goal Thursday in a 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Abols deflected a Cam York slap shot early in the second frame; it was his second goal of the season. It was his first goal in 12 games (five assists). The 30-year-old fourth-line center has three goals, seven assists and 43 shots in 41 games. There's limited fantasy value in his profile.

Aleksei Kolosov - Takes loss in relief Kolosov allowed three goals on 16 shots in relief in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact The game really wasn't close. The Flyers are struggling right now. Kolosov was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley earlier on Thursday after Dan Vladar sustained an undisclosed injury in the loss to the Sabres on Wednesday. Kolosov will backup Samuel Ersson until Vladar's return.

Samuel Ersson - Pulled in second period Ersson allowed three goals on 14 shots before being replaced in the second period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Aleksei Kolosov replaced him. It was hardly Ersson's fault that his team was down 3-1 at the time. The Pens had ripped home two power-play goals in the first, and the Flyers were running around at bad angles. Ersson was pressed into duty after Dan Vladar suffered an undisclosed injury in Wednesday's game. Ersson's last win was Dec. 23. He's 0-3-0 with 17 goals allowed in four starts since.
