Hart left the Flyers' Wednesday night game against the Buffalo Sabres midway through the first period with an apparent mid-body injury and did not return. Outside of being ruled out for Friday's game, the severity of his injury hasn't been confirmed yet but any extended absence will be a huge loss for the Flyers as he has been off to a terrific start, posting a 2.52 GAA and .913 SV% through eight games (4-3-1). Samuel Ersson will start on Friday in his absence.


Wotherspoon was recalled Wednesday after putting up an assist, six PIMs, and a -1 plus/minus in six games with Providence (AHL) and will make his Boston Bruins debut Thursday vs. Toronto. The 26-year-old defensemen signed a one-year, $775,000 deal with Boston in the offseason and has an assist, 10 SOG, four PIMs and a +5 plus/minus in 12 career games played after debuting in 2022-23 with the New York Islanders.

Hart left the Flyers' Wednesday night game against the Buffalo Sabres midway through the first period with an apparent mid-body injury and was unable to return. Hart's status hasn't been confirmed yet but any extended absence will be a huge loss for the Flyers as he has been off to a terrific start, posting a 2.52 GAA and .913 SV% through eight games (4-3-1). Look for Samuel Ersson and Felix Sandstrom to take on Hart's goaltending duties in his absence.

Wotherspoon was recalled along with Mason Lohrei and Ian Mitchell to give the Bruins options on their blueline as they will be without Charlie McAvoy (suspension) and Matt Grzelcyk (upper body). Wotherspoon was a fourth-round pick of the New York Islanders in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft and played his first 12 NHL games with the Islanders last season, recording one point (0G / 1A) four penalty minutes, and a +5 plus/minus rating.

Hart will start for the Flyers on Wednesday after allowing three goals on 33 shots in their most recent contest, a 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Hart has been splendid between the pipes early this season, recording a 2.30 GAA and .921 SV% through seven games (4-3-0) and is one of the main reasons why last season's 26th-ranked Flyers are off to a respectable 4-4-1 start this season. The Flyers are slight -106 home favourites against a Buffalo Sabres team that ranks eighth in the Atlantic Division.

Andersson had three points (1G / 2A) in five games before being forced to serve a four-game suspension that concluded on Sunday. He is expected to return to the lineup for the Flames' contest against the Dallas Stars on Wednesday and should slot back onto the team's top powerplay unit.

Hill suffered his first loss of the season on Friday, a 4-3 overtime loss at the hands of the Chicago Blackhawks, and will look to rebound on Monday night against the Montreal Canadiens. In five games this season (4-0-1), Hill is sporting a respectable 2.16 GAA and .915 SV%. Hill and the Golden Knights are -221 home favourites against a Montreal Canadiens team that has won four of their last five games.

Hart served as the Flyers' backup goalie on Saturday as he watched Samuel Ersson struggle, allowing seven goals on 25 shots in a 7-4 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. The Flyers will look to get back on track as Hart will return to the crease and look to continue his outstanding 2.18 GAA and .924 SV% start to the season (4-2-0). That said, the Flyers are +169 home underdogs against a Carolina Hurricanes team that has won two straight, outscoring their opposition 6-2 in those games.



Coghlan served as the Hurrincanes' extra defenseman during their back-to-back on Thursday and Friday. With the Hurricanes off until Monday, Coghlan goes back to Springfield, where he could play on Saturday and Sunday.


Hill continued his early season run of dominance as he stopped 21 of 24 shots (.875 SV%) for his fourth-straight win in his previous start vs. Chicago and will take the Blackhawks on again Friday. The 27-year-old signed a fresh two-year, $9.8 million contract in the offseason after leading Vegas to its first-ever Stanley Cup and has not disappointed this season as he is 4-0-0 with a .934 SV% and a 1.73 GAA. He takes on the struggling Chicago Blackhawks, who have lost five of their last six games and are 30th in the NHL in goals for (2.0).

On Tuesday, Hart allowed three goals on 29 shots in a heartbreaking 3-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights but will look to rebound when he takes the starter's crease on Thursday night against the Minnesota Wild. Hart has a 3-2-0 record along with an impressive 2.21 GAA and .922 SV% through five contests. The Minnesota Wild have been scoring with ease, despite being without Matt Boldy, averaging 4.17 goals per game so far this season (3-2-1), attributing to the Flyers +104 home underdogs.
