Philadelphia Flyers News

Foerster was drafted 23rd overall by the Flyers in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and has shown strides towards becoming a reliable offensive producer at the NHL level. After scoring a career-high 43 points (25G / 18A) in 81 games last season, he was off to a strong start in 2025-26, with seven points (4G / 3A) in 11 games. That said, his production will need to be temporarily halted as he is expected to miss at least a few games due to a lower-body injury after blocking a shot in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Andrae has been unable to secure a permanent fixture on the Flyers' roster this season, limited to only two games, but will get another shot after being recalled from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL). The 23-year-old defenseman recorded seven points (1G / 6A) in 42 games with the Flyers last season. Tyson Foerster (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move.

Gaucher is an undrafted forward that made his NHL debut last season, going scoreless in four games with the Flyers. The 24-year-old has two points (1G / 1A) in eight games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) this season. The Flyers assigned Emil Andrae to to Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Couturier was limited to only 5:17 time-on-ice in Thursday' 4-1 win over the Nashville Predators, exiting the contest with an undisclosed injury. The 32-year-old Couturier was off to a productive start to the 2025-26 season, with nine points (2G / 7A) in 10 games.

Ersson has taken a backseat to Dan Vladar early in the 2025-26 season, due to Vladar's strong play. The 26-year-old Ersson is not expected to miss significant time, but his absence will further allow Vladar to make his case to be the starting goalie in Philadelphia. Erson has a 3.08 GAA and .876 SV% in four games this season (2-1-1). The Flyers have recalled Aleksei Kolosov from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) in a corresponding move.

Kolosov made his NHL debut with Philadelphia last season, posting a 3.59 GAA and .867 SV% in 17 games (5-9-1). The 23-year-old Belarusian goalie has started the season strong with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL), posting a 2.60 GAA and .918 SV% in five games (3-2-0). He will likely serve as the backup to Dan Vlader while he is with the Flyers until Samuel Ersson returns from an undisclosed injury.

Kyrou was drafted 50th-overall by the Stars in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 22-year-old Kyrou has yet to play an AHL game and could benefit from a change of scenery after struggling to establish himself at the AHL level. He had 15 points (4G / 11A) in 36 games with the Texas Stars (AHL) last season.
