Pos | Role | Name |
C | 1 | Sean Couturier  ActiveSean Couturier played with a torn MCL in Games 5 and 6. Couturier missed Game 4 because of the injury, but he returned to the fold quickly. He is not expected to require surgery in the off-season, but in regular season it probably would have amounted to a four-week recovery. Couturier was Philadelphia's best player in the series even after he was injured. Apr 22 |
| 2 | Nolan Patrick  ActiveNolan Patrick will center Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek on Wednesday night. Patrick is centering the top line because Sean Couturier is unavailable for this game. The 19-year-old has one goal and one assist in three games during the postseason. This is a great opportunity for the rookie. Apr 18 |
| 3 | Valtteri Filppula  ActiveLook for Valtteri Filppula to remain on the Flyers' top line between Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek. All Filppula did in this role Friday night wa score a goal and regster two assists pacing the Flyers to a 4-2 win to stave off elimination. The Flyers' other lines in the win were as follows: Nolan Patrick between Michael Raffl and Travis Konecny, Sean Couturier between Scott Laughton and Wayne Simmonds and Jori Lehtera between Matt Read and Dale Weise. Flyer coach Dave Hakstol's tinkering resulted in a victory so we would expect that the Philly lineup will look the same come Game 6 Sunday. Apr 21 |
| 4 | Jori Lehtera  ActiveJori Lehtera will be a healthy scratch in Saturday's game against Carolina. The Flyers will be making a small change swapping Lehtera with Jordan Weal and will have Alex Lyon in goal to start the game. Taylor Leier and Dale Weise are also expected to be scratched. Mar 17 |
LW | 1 | Claude Giroux  ActiveClaude Giroux has decided against playing in the 2018 World Championships. Giroux most recently participated in the tournament in 2017, scoring two goals and six points in 10 games with Team Canada. He has eight goals and 24 points in 28 career World Championship games and won gold in that tournament in 2015. Apr 25 |
| 2 | Travis Konecny  ActiveTravis Konecny moved up to the second line at Tuesday's practice. Konecny skated alongside Nolan Patrick and Wayne Simmonds in the session. He has one goal in three games during Philadelphia's first-round series against Pittsburgh. Oskar Lindblom had been playing on the second unit, but he was the odd man out during the session. Apr 17 |
| 3 | Scott Laughton  ActiveScott Laughton found the back of the net in Philadelphia's 8-5 loss to Pittsburgh in Game 6 on Sunday. It was Laughton's first career point in nine playoff games. Defenseman Andrew MacDonald also scored a goal for Philadelphia. Matt Read, Claude Giroux, and Ivan Provorov each registered an assist in their final game of the 2018 playoffs. Apr 22 |
| 4 | Jordan Weal  ActiveJordan Weal could be back in the lineup for Game 4 on Wednesday night. Weal skated alongside Valtteri Filppula and Michael Raff at Tuesday's practice. He was a healthy scratch for the first three games of the series. Weal accounted for two goals and two assists in three games versus Pittsburgh during the regular season. Apr 17 |
| 5 | Taylor Leier  ActiveThe Flyers are projected to scratch Taylor Leier on Thursday. It would be Leier's fifth consecutive game in the press box. He has a goal and five points in 39 contests in 2017-18. Mar 15 |
RW | 1 | Jakub Voracek  ActiveJakub Voracek feels that the Flyers did fine this season, but he wants more in 2018-19. The Flyers got to the playoffs after missing it last year, but they lost in the first round. "For how many up and downs we went through during the year, I think we did a good job as a team sticking together," said Voracek. "We’ve gotta win at least a playoff series next year, but a lot of bright future, lot of guys that had great years, and hopefully we’re not that far off." The Flyers have a solid core to build on and Voracek is a big part of that. He's coming off a career season where he scored 20 goals and 85 points in 81 games. Apr 26 |
| 2 | Wayne Simmonds  ActiveAs previously reported that Wayne Simmonds played through 2017-18 with a torn pelvis, but that was just the tip of the ice berg. Simmonds also suffered a fractured ankle, pulled groin, two mouth injuries, and a torn ligament in his thumb. Out of all of those issues, only the torn ligament in his thumb removed him from the lineup and even then, he still played through 75 regular season games and the Flyers' six playoff contests. All we can say is: Wow. He did see his production dip in 2017-18, but that's hardly surprising given all he had to endure. If he can stay healthy next season then he should bounce back. Apr 26 |
| 3 | Michael Raffl  ActiveMichael Raffl (upper body) is healthy again and could be back in the lineup on Tuesday night. Raffl has been sidelined since Mar. 18 due to an upper-body injury. He skated at Monday's practice and appears as though he is ready to play. Apr 2 |
| 4 | Matt Read  ActiveMatt Read posted a goal on three shots, while adding a blocked shot and two hits in Game 5 in Pittsburgh on Friday night. Read sealed Philadelphia's victory with an empty-net marker. The Ontario native was mostly a non-factor through the first four games of the series, going scoreless with one shot on goal with four penalty minutes. Game 6 is set for Sunday back in Philadelphia. Apr 20 |
| 5 | Dale Weise  ActiveDale Weise will suit up in Game 5 against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night. The 29-year-old hasn't played in a game since April 1st. He had four goals and four assists in 46 games during the regular season. Weise will skate on the fourth line with Matt Read and Jori Lehtera. He has no fantasy value. Apr 20 |
D | 1 | Shayne Gostisbehere  ActiveShayne Gostisbehere posted an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 win at Colorado, giving him 60 points in 2017-18. Gostisbehere is one of just four Philadelphia rearguards in franchise history to record 60 or more points in a single season. Garry Galley did it twice, Behn Wilson did it once, and Mark Howe accomplished the feat three times. Mar 29 |
| 2 | Ivan Provorov  ActiveIvan Provorov revealed that his shoulder injury was a Grade 3 AC sprain. Provorov would have needed six-to-eight weeks to recover if it was the regular season. He was playing through the issue in Game 6, but by the third period he was losing feeling in his arm. That let to him surrendering some turnovers. He should still be healthy in time to begin his summer training in July, so this injury isn't expected to impact his off-season plans. Apr 25 |
| 3 | Andrew MacDonald  ActiveAndrew MacDonald has reached the 20-point milestone. MacDonald got there by registering an assist in the Flyers' 2-1 win on Wednesday. He's not an offensive defenseman, but this is the third time in his career that he's reached the 20-point mark. In 2016-17, he finished just shy of the milestone with 18 points in 73 games. Mar 29 |
| 4 | Radko Gudas  ActiveRadko Gudas was scoreless with a plus-1 rating in Game 5 against the Penguins on Friday night. Gudas took some heat from the Philly faithful for injuring Sean Couturier in practice, causing the forward to miss Game 4. Flyers fans were glad to see Gudas hitting players on the Penguins, though. In fact, he dished out a game-high seven hits while posting a blocked shot and racking up seven PIMs. Apr 20 |
| 5 | Brandon Manning  ActiveBrandon Manning will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's game against the Detroit Red Wings. Manning has now been scratched in back-to-back games. He has six goals and 16 points in 57 games this season. Taylor Leier and Dale Weise will also watch the game from the press box on Tuesday night. Mar 20 |
| 6 | Robert Hagg  ActiveRobert Hagg is projected to be put in the lineup for Game 5 Friday night. It would be Hagg's first career playoff game. The 23-year-old defenseman is a major physical presence and that should help the Flyers as they fight to keep their campaign alive. Travis Sanheim is projected to be a healthy scratch to make room in the lineup. Apr 20 |
| 7 | Johnny Oduya  ActiveJohnny Oduya will be among Philadelphia's healthy scratches again on Sunday afternoon for Game 3 versus Pittsburgh. The Flyers will ice the lineup, in terms of personnel, that they had in Friday's 5-1 victory over the Penguins. That will put Robert Hagg, Taylor Leier, Jordan Weal and Dale Weise in the press box. Apr 15 |
G | 1 | Brian Elliott  ActiveBrian Elliott may need additional surgery this off-season. Elliott pushed himself to return from core muscle surgery and may need another procedure. He was not playing at 100 percent in the postseason, but expects to be fully healthy for training camp. Apr 25 |
| 2 | Petr Mrazek  ActiveWith the Philadelphia Flyers' campaign in the books, they will be giving the Detroit Red Wings a 2018 third-round pick in exchange for Petr Mrazek. The conditional pick was upgraded from a fourth-round selection to a third-rounder because Mrazek won at least five regular season games with the Flyers and the team qualified for the playoffs. Had the Flyers gotten to the Eastern Conference Final with Mrazek winning at least six postseason contests, then it would have been a second-round pick. The Flyers could also owe Detroit an additional 2019 third-round selection if they re-sign Mrazek, but Philadelphia isn't likely to do so. Apr 24 |
| 3 | Dustin Tokarski  ActiveDustin Tokarski has been recalled by Philadelphia. Tokarski is presumably up with the Flyers to serve as the team's third goaltender in the playoffs. That will allow Alex Lyon and Anthony Stolarz to stay in the AHL for Lehigh Valley's postseason run. Apr 11 |
| 4 | Michal Neuvirth  SidelinedMichal Neuvirth will have arthroscopic surgery on both hips. Neuvirth was out with a lower-body injury late in the year before returning to action in the postseason. He also plans to change his trainer and off-season training regimen to try to avoid injuries. Neuvirth expects to be good to go for training camp. Apr 25 |
