ALEKSEI KOLOSOV NEWS

Struggles against Golden Knights Kolosov stopped 22 of 26 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Kolosov has gone 0-3-0 with 16 goals allowed on 86 shots over his last five appearances (three starts). The 22-year-old netminder is filling in as the Flyers' top goalie while Samuel Ersson (lower body) is out. Kolosov has a 4-8-1 record with a 3.45 GAA and an .870 save percentage through 15 outings this season. Even if he's seeing an increased workload, he's not a reliable fantasy option, especially with the Flyers facing the Maple Leafs twice and the Stars once over their next three games.

Between pipes in Vegas Kolosov will draw the start for Thursday's road game against the Golden Knights.

Impact Kolosov was inconsistent over limited action in December, going 1-3-1 with a 3.97 GAA and .847 save percentage over seven appearances. He could have some difficulty keeping the Golden Knights at bay Thursday, as Vegas ranks fourth in the NHL with 3.51 goals per game.

Efficient in relief Tuesday Kolosov stopped the seven shots he faced during the third period in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.

Impact Samuel Ersson left Tuesday's game against the Sharks after the second period. While it's uncertain if he's dealing with an injury, that would seem to be the case since he departed the contest after stopping all 15 shots he faced in the first two periods versus San Jose. Kolosov will likely operate as the No. 1 netminder for the Flyers if Ersson is forced to miss time.

Struggles against Kings Kolosov allowed five goals on 20 shots in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Kings.

Impact This was a low-event game, but the few chances that were created by either team tended to be dangerous. Kolosov had a 4-3 lead to protect heading into the third period and couldn't get the job done, taking his fourth loss over six appearances in December. He's now 4-7-1 with a 3.49 GAA and an .869 save percentage through 13 outings this season. None of the Flyers' three goalies have done much to claim a larger role, but Samuel Ersson remains the No. 1 with Kolosov as the No. 2 and Ivan Fedotov stuck in a third-string role. The Flyers' road trip continues Tuesday in San Jose, which could be a favorable matchup for whichever goalie gets the nod.

Between pipes in Los Angeles Kolosov will defend the road crease Sunday versus the Kings, according to Kevin Kurz of The Athletic.

Impact Kolosov has struggled lately, posting a 1-2-1 record, .855 save percentage and 4.01 GAA through five appearances in December. His only win in that span came against a struggling Detroit club Dec. 12. Kolosov will face a Kings team that ranks 14th in the NHL with 3.09 goals per game. Philadelphia and Los Angeles are both on the second half of a back-to-back.

Appears in relief Kolosov appeared in relief Monday and stopped six of seven shots in a 7-3 loss to the Penguins.

Impact He relieved Samuel Ersson. Kolosov actually played well in the third -- Sidney Crosby put in an empty-net goal while the Flyers were attempting a comeback before the Pens scored a last-minute power-play goal. Kolosov could get the next start given Ersson's struggles, but the Flyers had zero fight in them Monday, and that means no goalie is safe behind them.

Fades late in Thursday's loss Kolosov turned aside 20 of 26 shots in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Kings, with Los Angeles' seventh goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The game was tied 3-3 heading into the second intermission, but Kolosov couldn't stem the tide in the third. The 22-year-old netminder has given up at least four goals in three of four December outings, stumbling to a 4.07 GAA and .854 save percentage, but Samuel Ersson (3.86 GAA, .828 save percentage) hasn't fared any better this month as the Flyers' defense seems to be collapsing.

Expected to start Thursday Kolosov is set to guard the home goal against LA on Thursday.

Impact Kolosov has a 4-5-1 record, 3.05 GAA and .889 save percentage in 10 appearances in 2024-25. This will be his first start since last Thursday when he turned aside 25 of 26 shots en route to a 4-1 victory over Detroit. The Kings are tied for 15th in goals per game with 3.03.

Nice rebound win Kolosov made 25 saves in a 4-1 win over Detroit on Thursday.

Impact Kolosov wasn't busy the first two periods -- he saw just 14 shots. Ben Chiarot finally beat him late in the third to pull the Wings to within one goal, and his mates drained two empty-net goals to seal the win. It was a nice rebound for Kolosov, who had allowed four goals in each of his last two games, both losses. He's a mid-option when he's in the blue paint, as he's still adjusting to North American ice. But the potential is there.

Starting against Detroit Kolosov will start Thursday's home game against the Red Wings, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Hot-cold season continues Kolosov made 27 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to Boston on Saturday.

Impact The Bruins put their foot on the gas in the third, rallying from a 3-1 deficit to knot things up. Kolosov has run cold and hot this season. He started with four losses with 14 goals allowed and followed that with three wins and just six goals allowed. This was Kolosov's second loss since that winning run, and he allowed four goals in each of those games. Samuel Ersson (lower body) will be back soon, so Kolosov's time in the NHL is likely coming to an end.

Between the pipes Saturday Kolosov will defend the visiting crease in Boston on Saturday.

Impact Kolosov was shaky in his last appearance, stopping 16 of 20 shots in relief of Ivan Fedotov in a 7-5 loss to Florida on Thursday. The 22-year-old netminder could be making his last start for the Flyers as Samuel Ersson (lower body) appears to be healthy and ready to return. Kolosov would likely be the odd-man out as the Flyers want him to see regular action. Kolosov is 3-3-0 with a 3.22 GAA and an .882 save percentage ahead of Saturday's tilt in Boston. The Bruins are averaging only 2.54 goals per game, 28th in the NHL.

Takes loss in relief Thursday Kolosov turned aside 16 of 20 shots in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Panthers. taking the decision after replacing Ivan Fedotov to begin the second period.

Impact It wasn't a great showing from either Philly netminder, but three of the four goals Kolosov allowed at least came on Florida power plays. Samuel Ersson (lower body) has begun practicing this week, and he figures to immediately reclaim the No. 1 job in the Philly crease as soon as he's ready to come off IR -- something that could happen as soon as Saturday in Boston. Through eight appearances this season, Kolosov has gone 3-5-0 with a 3.22 GAA and .882 save percentage.

Wins third straight Kolosov stopped 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.

Impact The Flyers nearly got the job done in regulation, but with their goalie pulled to create a 6-on-4 power play, the Blues found the tying goal with just 20 seconds left in the third period -- Kolosov robbed both Jordan Kyrou and Justin Faulk in quick succession, but Jake Neighbours banged home the puck on the ensuing scramble. Kolosov finally got rewarded for his efforts when Matvei Michkov scored on a breakaway in OT. The rookie netminder has won three straight starts after losing his first four NHL decisions, and since Samuel Ersson (lower body) landed on the shelf, Kolosov has a 2.25 GAA and .913 save percentage in four appearances compared to Ivan Fedotov's 2.91 GAA and .901 save percentage during the same stretch. If Philly carries only two goalies when Ersson returns from IR, Kolosov has made a strong case to be the team's No. 2.
