Flyers take on the Canucks following Laughton's 2-goal performance

The Philadelphia Flyers host the Vancouver Canucks after Scott Laughton's two-goal game against the Seattle Kraken in the Flyers' 6-4 loss

Bobby Brink - Extends point streak to four games Brink provided an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Brink has gotten on the scoresheet in all four games this season, earning a goal and three assists from a third-line role. He's added nine shots on net, nine hits and a minus-1 rating. Brink was moderately more productive on the road in 2023-24, earning 12 points over 27 games during the Flyers' travels compared to 11 points across 30 home contests. He'll look to keep his momentum going heading into Saturday's home opener versus the Canucks.

Matvei Michkov - Grabs power-play helper Michkov registered a power-play assist, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.

Impact It was a mixed bag for Michkov, who is still searching for the first even-strength point of his career. He has earned four power-play points (two goals, two assists) over four games while adding 10 shots on net, four blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-5 rating. The 19-year-old winger will need to avoid senseless penalties, as taking too many of those is the quickest way for a young player to ride pine for head coach John Tortorella.

Garnet Hathaway - Generates two assists in loss Hathaway posted two assists, four PIM, six hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Hathaway helped out on both of Scott Laughton's first-period tallies. Through four games, Hathaway has produced three assists, five shots on net, 13 hits and four PIM. The scoring rate will drop, but the 32-year-old winger is in the lineup for his toughness, so he'll have no trouble racking up hits and PIM from a fourth-line role.

Ryan Poehling - Two helpers in Thursday's loss Poehling notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Poehling helped out on both of Scott Laughton's first-period tallies. The 25-year-old Poehling continues to stick in the lineup as a defensive center. He has three assists, three shots on net, five blocked shots and three hits across four contests this season while filling a fourth-line role.

Cam York - Scores Thursday York scored a goal, blocked five shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.

Impact York has two goals through four contests this season. The 23-year-old defenseman has seen significant ice time, including a season-high 25:17 in Thursday's loss, but it hasn't come with much power-play time yet, as Egor Zamula and Jamie Drysdale continue to play with the man advantage. York has added six shots on net, seven blocked shots, five hits and four PIM from his top-four role. If he can keep his minutes up, York may be able to produce enough offense to stay in the mix in fantasy even without a significant power-play role.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Jamie Drysdale - Power-play tally in loss Drysdale scored a power-play goal and went minus-3 in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.

Impact The third-period goal was Drysdale's first point in four games this season. He's added eight blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. He's playing on the third pairing at even strength, though he saw a season-high 20:15 of ice time Thursday. He's also been a factor with the man advantage. Things often change quickly in the Flyers' lineup, and given where Drysdale's at now, he has nowhere to go but up, especially if he can build off his goal.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Scott Laughton - Three points in Thursday's loss Laughton scored a pair of goals, dished an assist, added five hits and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Laughton's pair of goals came in the first period, but the Kraken took over in the final 40 minutes. The Flyers' fourth line has been reliable, though that comes with limited ice time that can lead to fluctuations in productivity. Laughton has two goals, two assists, seven shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-1 rating through four contests this season. He's trusted for heavy defensive minutes at times, and that'll be enough to keep him in the lineup even when he's not scoring.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Samuel Ersson - Plays third period Thursday Ersson allowed a goal on five shots in relief of Ivan Fedotov in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Ersson is expected to start Saturday against the Canucks as well, so it's a little surprising he got any action in Thursday's contest. The 24-year-old has been the better of the Flyers' two goalies so far, allowing seven goals on 62 shots while going 1-0-1 over three appearances. Ersson is not a must-have goalie in fantasy, but he may get to that status if he sees a substantial workload, though fantasy managers may be better off streaming him for favorable matchups.

OCTOBER 18 • NHL.COM

Ivan Fedotov - Pulled after two periods Fedotov allowed five goals on 24 shots over two periods of Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Fedotov got the hook after the Kraken ran away with the game by virtue of an eruption of goals late in the second period. The 27-year-old hasn't looked good in his two starts this season, giving up 10 goals on 55 shots. Samuel Ersson has at least kept the Flyers competitive, and he may soon run away with the No. 1 job in goal. Ersson played the third period Thursday and is slated to start Saturday's home opener versus the Canucks.
