Aleksei Kolosov - Unavailable Thursday Kolosov, who was initially announced as the starter for Thursday's road tilt against Tampa Bay, will miss the game due to a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day beyond th...

Impact Ivan Fedotov will play between the pipes Thursday. Kyle Konin has signed an amateur tryout to serve as the emergency backup goaltender. Kolosov has a record of 0-3-0 with a 3.93 GAA and an .863 save percentage in three appearances in 2024-25.

Ivan Fedotov - Starting Thursday Fedotov will start Thursday on the road versus the Lightning.

Impact The start was originally supposed to go to Aleksei Kolosov, but he was injured in the morning skate Thursday. Fedotov will instead draw in for his first game action since Oct. 23, when he allowed four goals on 23 shots in a loss to the Capitals. The 27-year-old will have an emergency backup (Kyle Konin), so Fedotov will likely play the full game regardless of his performance.

Matvei Michkov - Healthy scratch Thursday Michkov will be a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against the Lightning.

Impact Michkov appeared in each of the Flyers' first 13 games of the season and logged four goals, 10 points, six blocked shots and two hits while averaging 17:50 of ice time. However, he's cooled off recently, tallying just one assist over his last five outings. Head coach John Tortorella has benched some prominent players -- especially rookies -- in the past in order to send a message, and Michkov will get a night off Thursday. Anthony Richard will draw into the lineup against Tampa Bay, while Michkov's next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday against the Panthers.

Aleksei Kolosov - Starter status in doubt Kolosov, who was announced by the Flyers as the starter against Tampa Bay on Thursday, appears to have suffered an undisclosed injury during the game-day skate, per Elliotte Friedm...

Impact Kolosov's status as the starter should probably be considered doubtful at this point. Even if it is a minor issue, the team almost certainly wouldn't want to risk him and would go with Ivan Fedotov instead. Still, fantasy players may have to wait until warmups at this point to determine who will be between the pipes versus the Bolts on Thursday.

Samuel Ersson - Not ready to return Ersson (lower body) took part in the Flyers' game-day skate but won't be in action versus the Lightning, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Ersson seems to be trending in the right direction, which could leave the door open for him to play versus the Panthers on Saturday. Still, with both Aleksei Kolosov and Ivan Fedotov available, the team doesn't need to rush Ersson back into the crease. It will be Kolosov who gets the nod for Thursday's matchup with Tampa Bay.

NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Aleksei Kolosov - Starting against Tampa Bay Kolosov will serve as the starting goaltender for Thursday's road game against Tampa Bay.

Impact Kolosov has yet to enter the win column this season, and he'll face a tough road test Thursday against the Lightning, who rank sixth in the league with 3.69 goals per game to begin the year. Over his three appearances this year, the 22-year-old has logged an 0-3-0 record, 3.93 GAA and .863 save percentage.

Ryan Poehling - Designated for injured reserve Poehling (personal) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday retroactive to Nov. 2.

Impact With his IR designation, Poehling will not be available versus the Lightning on Thursday for sure, though it could certainly be longer. While the 25-year-old center has yet to find the back of the net in 12 appearances, he has picked up five assists to open the season. In a corresponding move, the Flyers recalled Anthony Richard from AHL Lehigh Valley in order to fill out the lineup.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Richard - Recalled Wednesday Richard was summoned by the Flyers on Wednesday.

Impact Richard has four goals and nine points in seven outings with AHL Lehigh Valley in 2024-25. The 27-year-old has collected four goals and eight points across 24 career NHL regular-season games. Ryan Poehling (personal) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Travis Sanheim - Manages helper in loss Sanheim recorded an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact This was Sanheim's first scoring contribution since his three-point effort versus the Canadiens on Oct. 27. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to play big minutes, averaging 23:51 per game despite seeing just traces of power-play usage. He's at six points, 28 shots on net, 13 hits, 27 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 13 outings. Sanheim has appeal for category coverage, but don't expect him to move the needle by much on offense.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Matvei Michkov - Generates assist in loss Michkov posted an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Michkov's helper ended a four-game slump for the talented rookie. There will be ups and downs as there are with any young player, but Michkov's ice time has also dropped recently. He's had a couple of benchings by head coach John Tortorella, Madeline Campbell of Broad Street Hockey reports, and that could continue as Tortorella works to iron out the flaws in Michkov's play. Tortorella has indicated he wouldn't hesitate to scratch Michkov, as he has done with other young players throughout his various stops in the NHL. Michkov has 10 points, 23 shots on net and a minus-8 rating over his first 13 appearances, but fantasy managers should be prepared for some attrition when rostering the rookie, who is playing on a last-place team.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Morgan Frost - Scores in Tuesday's loss Frost scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Frost tied the game at 3-3 early in the third period with his first goal of the season. The 25-year-old's sluggish start on offense, as well as some defensive miscues, have led to a smaller role than initially expected. He has six points, 28 shots on net, 14 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 13 appearances. Head coach John Tortorella has not hesitated to shuffle his lines this year, so while Frost has filled a second-line spot recently, that could change at a moment's notice.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sean Couturier - Picks up two helpers Couturier collected two assists in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact The 31-year-old has been feast or famine to begin the season. Couturier erupted for five points Oct. 26 and picked up an assist Oct. 12, but he's been held scoreless in the other 10 contests he's suited up for. While his three goals and eight points in 13 games looks solid, the volatility makes him tough to rely on in anything other than season-long formats in which you can ride out the cold spells.
