Rasmus Ristolainen - Earns first point Ristolainen notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact The helper on Carl Grundstrom's empty-netter was Ristolainen's first point in five games since he made his season debut following his recovery from triceps surgery. The 31-year-old Ristolainen is filling a bottom-four role so far, and he's added a plus-1 rating, seven shots on net, eight hits and eight blocked shots. Fantasy managers don't need to roster him unless he gets hot on offense, though he could help in the physical categories in deeper formats.

Sean Couturier - Supplies pair of helpers Couturier notched two assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Couturier hasn't scored in nine games, and he has just a pair of two-assist outings in that span. The 33-year-old center remains a key part of the Flyers' top six, but he's lost a power-play role due to that recent quiet stretch. For the season, he's at five goals, 16 helpers, 53 shots on net, 36 hits, 26 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 35 contests.

Carl Grundstrom - Fills empty net Tuesday Grundstrom scored an empty-net goal, added two PIM, logged two hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Grundstrom scored in consecutive contests for the first time this season. The 28-year-old has taken advantage of a chance to play on the fourth line and looks to be a lock for the Flyers' lineup for a while. He's up to five goals, one assist, 16 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-6 rating over 10 appearances, though that scoring pace won't last given his lofty 31.3 shooting percentage.

Travis Konecny - Two points in win Konecny scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.

Impact Konecny has been one of the most productive players for the Flyers in recent weeks and has cracked the scoresheet in all but two of his last 13 games. Over that stretch, Konecny has posted six goals, 10 assists, 34 shots, 12 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-6 rating. He should remain a strong fantasy play in all formats as long as he continues this sizzling stretch.

Noah Cates - Extends point streak Cates scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Cates found the back of the net with a snap shot at the 11:13 mark of the second period, and that power-play goal gave the Flyers a transitory 2-0 lead. Cates is also riding a four-game point streak, his longest of the season, so he might be worth a look as a streaming option in some formats based on his recent streak of play. That said, his long-term upside will remain low as long as he remains in a bottom-six role.

Samuel Ersson - Makes 20 saves in win Ersson stopped 20 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Ersson was beaten in the latter stages of the second period, but that would be the only goal he'd allow. The 26-year-old Swedish netminder snapped a four-game losing skid with this win, a run in which he'd allowed at least three goals each time. Ersson owns a 2-2-2 record with a 2.78 GAA and an .889 save percentage in seven appearances in December.

Travis Sanheim - Pulled by concussion spotter Sanheim was removed from Tuesday's game versus the Blackhawks by the concussion spotter, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Sanheim was shaken up after a hit in the third period, but head coach Rick Tocchet indicated the defenseman is likely fine. Still, fantasy managers will want to double-check that Sanheim has been cleared prior to Sunday's game versus the Kraken.

Impact Barkey will have some extra time to recover thanks to the holiday break, as the Flyers' next game is Sunday in Seattle. The 20-year-old forward has been seeing middle-six usage since he was called up last Friday. Consider Barkey to be day-to-day until further information is available.

Samuel Ersson - Facing Chicago Ersson will guard the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Ersson will look to snap a four-game skid. He's 0-2-2 with 14 goals allowed on 103 shots over that span. The Blackhawks are without both Connor Bedard (upper body) and Frank Nazar (upper body), so their offense will be significantly weakened, but Ersson's recent results aren't encouraging for fantasy purposes.
