Rasmus Ristolainen - Unavailable Thursday Ristolainen (upper body) will remain out Thursday versus Pittsburgh, per Flyers Director of Broadcasting Brian Smith.
Impact Ristolainen also missed Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Buffalo. He has three assists in 13 outings in 2025-26. Noah Juulsen is projected to stay in the lineup, but Juulsen might be a healthy scratch once Ristolainen is ready to play.

An update on Vladar's status hasn't been provided by the team yet, leaving his timeline to return in question.

The 25-year-old Ellis has allowed five goals on 63 shots while going 1-1-0 in his last two outings. The Canadiens have 22 goals over their last six games, going 4-1-1 in that span.
