Nabs helper Saturday York logged an assist, three shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact York was scratched for Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Kings, but the Flyers' defense proved to be worse without him. He has three points over eight outings in December, though he's still on shaky ground for his defensive play. The 23-year-old blueliner has six points, a minus-1 rating, 26 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and 12 PIM through 20 contests this season. York saw 23:34 of ice time Saturday, so he looks to have regained a little trust from head coach John Tortorella.

Three assists in overtime win Konecny notched three assists in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Konecny continues to pile on the points in December -- he has three goals and seven helpers over nine outings this month. He was a big part of the Flyers' four-goal third period, allowing them to erase three deficits before completing the comeback in overtime. Konecny is up to the 40-point mark in just 34 appearances, earning 16 goals, 24 helpers, 87 shots on net, 46 hits, 35 PIM and a minus-2 rating. He's maintained a point-per-game pace in just one of his first eight seasons, but he could fade a little bit and still end up with a career year.

Keeps rolling with two-point effort Cates scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Cates tied the game at 2-2 at 8:48 of the third period. The teams exchanged a few more goals after that, and Cates was on the ice to feed Owen Tippett for the game-winner 3:30 into overtime. With four goals and two assists over his last six contests, Cates is in the midst of one of the best stretches of his career. The 25-year-old is up to five tallies, six helpers, 30 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 30 appearances this season. While his recent play is encouraging, his history doesn't indicate an ability to sustain this level of production, especially when he remains in a third-line role.

Stays hot in win Foerster scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Foerster set up Noah Cates for a game-tying goal midway through the third period, then scored another equalizer himself with 1:44 left to send the contest to overtime. With six points over his last three games, Foerster is quite hot all of a sudden, which has led to his ice time going on the rise. He's still listed on the third line but has seen more top-six minutes recently. The winger is at nine goals, 16 points, 53 shots on net, 20 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 33 outings overall.

Provides two goals in comeback win Frost scored twice, added two PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Frost needed a big game given recent criticisms of his play from head coach John Tortorella. His strong performance Saturday led to Frost getting 18:51 of ice time, his highest mark in a game since Oct. 23. The center has five points over his last six outings and a total of six goals, 15 points, 49 shots on net, 12 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 29 appearances this season.

Erupts with four points in win Tippett scored the game-winning goal, added three assists, fired three shots on net and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Tippett played a massive part in the Flyers' third-period rally before scoring the game-winner 3:30 into overtime. He has seven goals and four assists over his last 10 outings. His ice time has often fluctuated and has dipped into the 12-13 minutes range frequently in recent week, but he was at 19:11 in this contest. He's up to 11 goals, 11 assists, 86 shots on net, 54 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 34 contests.

Holds on for overtime win Ersson stopped 21 of 25 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact The Flyers rallied from three deficits in the third period, and then Owen Tippett completed the comeback at 3:30 of overtime. This was Ersson's second win in five starts since he came back from a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old has allowed 19 goals in that span despite facing no more than 25 shots in any of those games. Ersson is up to 7-5-2 with a 3.09 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 16 appearances. He's still atop the depth chart in goal, though his poor recent performance should allowed Aleksei Kolosov to see a decent share of playing time in the backup role. Ivan Fedotov also remains on the NHL roster, making the Flyers' crease a crowded one, and one to avoid in fantasy.

Won't play Saturday Couturier will miss Saturday's game against Columbus for personal reasons.

Impact Couturier has six goals and 17 points in 32 outings in 2024-25. His absence will probably result in Olle Lycksell, who was summoned from AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday, making his NHL season debut.

Called up Saturday Lycksell was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Lycksell played 18 games with the Flyers last season, logging one goal and five points. He got off to a nice start in the AHL this year, recording nine goals and 24 points in 25 contests. Lycksell figures to fill a depth role ahead of Saturday's matchup with Columbus.

Tending twine Saturday Ersson will be between the home pipes versus Columbus on Saturday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Ersson has struggled since returning from a lower-body injury that cost him 11 games. He is 1-3-0 since his return, allowing 15 goals on only 87 shots (.828 save percentage). His lone win was against Saturday's opponent as the Blue Jackets managed only 18 shots on goal in a 5-3 loss Dec. 10. Columbus is a surprising 10th in NHL scoring during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 3.24 goals per game.

Quiet on offense Zamula was held off the scoresheet for the ninth game in a row in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact Zamula's been scratched six times in that span, though he's played in the last four games. The 24-year-old is still struggling to carve out a regular role. Emil Andrae was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday, so Zamula has a little more job security for now, but he may still exit the lineup for Erik Johnson or Cam York in the near future. Overall, Zamula has six points, 14 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 23 contests this season.

Adds helper in loss Frost notched an assist and went minus-3 in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Kings.

Impact Frost set up the second of Tyson Foerster's tallies in the game. With 11:43 of ice time, Frost played the least of any Philadelphia skater. The 25-year-old's play has already put him in the doghouse with head coach John Tortorella at times this season, and aside from going 7-for-11 on faceoffs Thursday, Frost could be heading for another rough patch. The Flyers aren't carrying an extra forward at this time, but they could still opt to dress seven defensemen. Frost has 13 points, 47 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating through 29 appearances, and it seems like he'd benefit from a change of scenery -- as long as that doesn't mean an elevator ride to the press box.
