Juulsen will draw into the Flyers lineup for Game 2 in Pittsburgh.

After serving as a healthy scratch in Game 1, Juulsen will suit up for a post-season game for just the third time in his career on Monday. Juulsen previously appeared in two playoff games with the Canucks in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. He played in 52 games for the Flyers this season, tallying one goal and nine assists. Emil Andrae (undisclosed) will sit in his place.

Andrae (undisclosed) will not play in Game 2 in Pittsburgh.

Andrae missed practice on Sunday with an undisclosed injury but was not confirmed to be out for Game 2 prior to warmups. The 24-year-old Andrae saw just 9:39 of ice-time in Game 1, registering one hit and one shot on goal. Noah Juulsen will draw into the lineup in his place.

Vladar will start Game 2 vs. Pittsburgh.

The Flyers will of course stick with Vladar between the pipes as they aim to take a commanding 2-0 series lead on Monday. Vladar will be hoping for another night of light work in Game 2, after the Flyers limited the Penguins to just 17 shots on goal enroute to a 3-2 victory in the series opener. Just as they were in Game 1, Vladar and the Flyers are slight underdogs on the money line for Game 2, entering action at +125.

The Flyers have assigned Hunter McDonald to Lehigh Valley (AHL).

McDonald is one of six players heading back to the AHL on Wedneday after the Flyers' regular season wrapped up on Tuesday night. McDonald had an assist, four PIMS and a plus-3 in his NHL debut last night, and now he returns to the Phantoms, where he has just six assists in 62 games this year.

Jiricek will make his Flyers debut on Tuesday.

Jiricek was acquired by the Flyers at the trade deadline and will make his Philadelphia debut on Tuesday vs. Montreal. The 22-year-old former sixth overall pick will now appear for his third NHL organization since being drafted by Columbus in 2022. He has appeared in 25 games this season (all with MIN) but has failed to pick up a point while collecting 14 PIMs and averaging 11:43 TOI.

Bonk will make his NHL debut on Tuesday.

It took game 82 of the regular season, but Oliver Bonk will make his much anticipated debut on Tuesday vs. Montreal. The 21-year-old was Philadelphia's 2023 1st round pick (22nd overall) and had six goals and 19 points in 44 games with Lehigh Valley (AHL) in his first season of professional hockey. Bonk is the son of former NHLer Radek Bonk.

With Philadelphia sitting nine regular players due to rest on Tuesday vs. Montreal, Anthony Richard will make his season debut.

Bump will draw back into Philadelphia's lineup vs. Montreal on Tuesday.

After sitting for the Flyers previous two games, Alex Bump will draw back into Philadelphia's lineup for their final game of the regular season vs. Montreal on Tuesday. The 22-year-old winger made his NHL debut in March and has been a steady source of offence in Philadelphia's push for the playoffs, with four goals, eight points and a +2 plus/minus through 16 games played.

Wilson will draw back into Philadelphia's lineup vs. Montreal on Tuesday.

Wilson was one of the NHLs better stories this season after he was signed from Lehigh Valley (AHL) late in the season and will appear in his third game on Tuesday vs. Montreal. The veteran left-winger last appeared in the NHL with Pittsburgh in 2018-19 before this season and has five PIMs and a -1 plus/minus in his two appearances so far with the Flyers.
