Flyers' Egor Zamula: Secures helper in return
Zamula notched an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.
Zamula missed eight games due to an upper-body injury. He slotted back in on the third pairing and logged 15:45 of ice time. Zamula will need to play well -- head coach John Tortorella won't hesitate to insert a veteran blueliner, Erik Johnson, into the lineup if Zamula's performance is poor. For the season, Zamula has 12 points, 25 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating across 40 appearances.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Knocks down Oilers
Ersson made 15 saves in a 6-3 win over Edmonton on Saturday.
Ersson was eased back into NHL action after being under siege before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off when he faced 107 shots in three games. Getting to don the yellow-and-blue jersey of the Tre Kroner at the tournament was a huge honor and a testament to Ersson's talent. It could boost him for the rest of the season, even behind a somewhat porous Philly squad.

Flyers' Andrei Kuzmenko: Six points in last five games
Kuzmenko scored a goal in a 6-3 win over the Oilers on Saturday.
Kuzmenko's goal was his first in orange and black in his second game since being acquired in a trade with the Flames on Jan. 30. He redirected a pass behind Stuart Skinner on a late third-period power play that put Philadelphia up 5-3. Kuzmenko could have some sneaky fantasy value for the remainder of the campaign. He has put up six points (three goals, three assists) and 12 shots in his last five games. He may not be the 74-point producer he was in 2022-23, but Kuzmenko still has excellent offensive instincts.

Flyers' Rasmus Ristolainen: Two points in return from injury
Ristolainen had a goal and an assist Saturday in a 6-3 win over Edmonton.
He scored an empty-net goal, and his helper came on the power play. Ristolainen hadn't played since Feb. 2, missing three games before the 4 Nations Face-Off break due to injury. He is mostly a depth option in specialty leagues because his 17 points in 55 games aren't noteworthy, but his 85 hits and 85 blocks could help in deeper formats.

Flyers' Matvei Michkov: Big three-point effort in win
Michkov scored a goal and added two assists in a 6-3 victory over the Oilers on Saturday.
The trio of Michkov, Owen Tippett (two goals) and Sean Couturier (one goal, two assists) had their way with the Oilers, and they all finished with a plus-5 rating. Michkov opened the scoring early in the first period when he drove the net and scored on his rebound. His three-point outburst Saturday matched his point total over a 10-game span (two goals, one assist) before the break. Michkov has 17 goals on the season, which ties him with Macklin Celebrini for the rookie lead.

Flyers' Sean Couturier: Gets 200th NHL goal in win
Couturier scored a goal and added two assists in a 6-3 win over Edmonton on Saturday.
His line delivered eight points in the game. Matvei Michkov also put up a goal and two helpers, and Owen Tippett scored twice. Each player finished with a plus-5 rating. Couturier's goal was his 200th in the NHL, and it was his first in 11 games (three assists). Despite the strong showing, Couturier's fantasy outlook remains unchanged. With just nine goals, 19 assists and 96 shots, Couturier is on pace for another sub-40-point season. There are plenty of centers worthy of more fantasy attention.

Flyers' Owen Tippett: Two goals in return from injury
Tippett scored two goals in 6-3 victory over the Oilers on Saturday.
Tippett hadn't played since Jan. 29, missing five games. His line with Sean Couturier (one goal, two assists) and Matvei Michkov (one goal, two assists) delivered eight points in the win, and each player finished with a plus-5 rating. Tippett's first goal game early in the second period on a breakaway to tie the game at 2-2, and his second was the game-winner following a give-and-go with Michkov at the midway point of the same frame. Tippett hasn't taken the step forward this season that Philly had hoped, but he remains a valuable player who can contribute to multiple categories.

Ersson will tend the twine for Team Sweden against the United States on Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Linus Ullmark (illness) was the first netminder off at Monday's morning skate, but Ersson will draw his first start of the tournament due to the former's ailment. Ersson will take on a strong American squad that has scored nine goals through two games, which could prove to be valuable experience for the 25-year-old.

Flyers' Denver Barkey: Handling leadership duties
Barkey has 19 goals and 47 assists over 42 games with OHL London this season.
Barkey is also the team captain, displaying a little leadership to go with his high-end offense. The 2023 third-round pick has averaged over 1.5 points per game over the last two seasons -- he had 102 points over 64 regular-season contests and 31 points over 22 games between the playoffs and Memorial Cup in 2023-24. He's taken a small step back on offense, but his two-way game allows him to dominate this level of play. He'll be 20 years old in April and is likely to be with AHL Lehigh Valley for 2025-26.

Flyers' Jett Luchanko: Finding twine more in 2024-25
Luchanko has garnered 15 goals and 36 points in 27 games with OHL Guelph this season.
Luchanko's goal-scoring touch has improved since he netted 20 goals across 68 games with the Storm in 2023-24. The right-shot center was the 13th overall selection by Philadelphia in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. The Flyers are much deeper on the wing than they are up the middle, so Luchanko's development will be critical to the team's potential future success. The 18-year-old did not register a point over four appearances with the Flyers earlier in the campaign.
