Bobby Brink - Rises to top level Brink was promoted from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
Impact Brink is expected to draw into the lineup immediately Tuesday versus Tampa Bay. He's picked up seven goals and 18 points while averaging 14:25 of ice time through 38 top-level appearances this year.

Travis Konecny - Still sidelined Konecny (upper body) won't play Tuesday against the Lightning, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
Impact Konecny will miss a third straight game with his upper-body issue. The 26-year-old forward was on a tear prior to suffering his injury, racking up five goals and 12 points over his last seven games. With Konecny still on the mend, look for the recently-recalled Bobby Brink to draw into the lineup versus Tampa Bay.

Samuel Ersson - Taking on Tampa Bay Ersson will patrol the home crease versus the Lightning on Tuesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Impact Ersson was pretty solid in his last start Saturday against the Rangers, stopping 22 of 24 shots, but he still came away with a loss due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. He'll try to get back in the win column in a home matchup with a Tampa Bay team that's averaging 3.00 goals on the road this season, 22nd in the NHL.

Jamie Drysdale - Missing extended time Drysdale (undisclosed) is week-to-week but could return before the end of the season, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Drysdale took an open-ice hit Sunday against the Penguins and appeared to have injured his shoulder. The 21-year-old injured that same shoulder during the 2022-23 season, limiting him to just eight total games. Drysdale has four points in 17 games since being acquired by the Flyers. In his absence, Egor Zamula should see more consistent playing time.

Rasmus Ristolainen - Moves to IR Ristolainen (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
Impact Ristolainen, who hasn't played since Feb. 10, still doesn't have an exact timetable in place for his return to the lineup. In 31 games this season, he has registered one goal, three assists, 46 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and 56 hits.

Cam York - Two points in Sunday's loss York scored an even-strength goal and added a shorthanded assist in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Penguins.
Impact The 23-year-old broke out of a slump that had seen him pick up only one assist over the prior 10 games. It was York's first multi-point performance since Dec. 7, but his fantasy outlook could be on the upswing if the shoulder injury suffered by Jamie Drysdale on Sunday proves to be serious. The Flyers have been mixing and matching defenders on the power play, with Travis Sanheim and Sean Walker getting shifts in addition to Drysdale and York, so taking one of them out of the picture -- or even two, if Walker gets shipped out at the trade deadline -- can only help the production of whoever's left standing on the Philly blue line.

Travis Sanheim - Two points against Pens Sanheim produced a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Penguins.
Impact The 27-year-old blueliner rounded out his line with two shots on net, four blocked shots, four PIM, one hit and a plus-3 rating. Sanheim has found a groove over the last couple weeks, delivering three goals and seven points over the last seven games, and he sits one point short of tying the career-high 35 he set back in 2018-19 during his first full season in the NHL.

Scott Laughton - Lights lamp twice Sunday Laughton scored two goals, one shorthanded, and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Penguins.
Impact The veteran center opened the scoring just over two minutes into the contest en route to collecting a point in each period and producing his first multi-goal performance of the season. Laughton extended his point streak to seven games, a stretch in which he's picked up four goals and 10 points, and he's on pace to reach the 40-point mark for the second straight campaign.

Tyson Foerster - Three-point effort in loss Foerster scored two goals, one on the power play, and added an even-strength assist in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Penguins.
Impact After tying the game at 2-2 early in the second period, Foerster potted his second tally with just over three minutes left in the third to bring the Flyers within a goal, but the team couldn't find an equalizer before the final buzzer. It's Foerster's second two-goal performance in his last six games and his first three-point effort of the season, and the 22-year-old rookie is up to 13 goals and 25 points through 54 contests on the season.
FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Cal Petersen - Iced by Penguins Petersen turned aside 25 shots in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Pittsburgh.
Impact The Flyers grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the first period but were playing from behind most of the rest of the game, as any momentum they built got quickly undercut by another Penguins goal. Petersen has appeared in only three games since returning to the NHL in late January, going 1-1-0 and giving up 11 goals on 65 shots (.831 save percentage), and he's little threat to Samuel Ersson's hold on the No. 1 job in the crease.

Jamie Drysdale - Injured Sunday Drysdale (undisclosed) left Sunday's game against the Penguins with an injury, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
Impact Drysdale appeared to be favoring his left shoulder after taking a hit from Jansen Harkins. Drysdale logged just 10:39 of ice time prior to leaving the game. There was no update available but there should be more information on his injury before Tuesday's tilt with Tampa Bay.
