Flyers' Aleksei Kolosov: Sent down to minors
Kolosov was demoted to AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday.
Kolosov was a late addition to training camp after deciding not to report right away in an attempt to avoid heading down to the minors for another season. Reportedly, the netminder preferred to continue playing overseas rather than in the AHL. Assuming he reports, Kolosov will split the Phantoms' crease with Cal Petersen, who will also be hoping to earn his way back onto the NHL roster.

Flyers' Cal Petersen: Assigned to AHL
The Flyers assigned Petersen to AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday.
Petersen was placed on waivers by the Flyers on Wednesday, and he'll officially head to the minors ahead of the regular season. He made 28 regular-season appearances for Philadelphia last year and posted a 2-2-0 record, 3.90 GAA and .864 save percentage.

Flyers' Samu Tuomaala: Sent to AHL
Tuomaala (undisclosed) was sent to AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday.
Tuomaala suffered an undisclosed injury during the 2024 Rookie Series in early September and never had a real opportunity to show his skill set at training camp. Tuomaala will start the season in the AHL, where he had 15 goals and 28 assists in 69 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Flyers' Anthony Richard: Placed on waivers by Philadelphia
Richard was placed on waivers by the Flyers on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Richard signed a two-way contract with the Flyers in July, and he was unable to earn a spot on the team's Opening Night roster. He should head to the minors if he clears waivers, and he'll likely spend most, if not all, of the season in the minors.

Flyers' Olle Lycksell: Waived Friday
Lycksell was waived by the Flyers on Friday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Lycksell recorded a goal and five points in 18 outings with Philadelphia in 2023-24. He also scored 19 goals and 39 points across 38 regular-season contests with AHL Lehigh Valley. Should he clear waivers, the 25-year-old is likely to be reassigned to the AHL and continue to dominate at that level, but he probably won't receive more than bottom-six responsibilities should Philadelphia recall him at some point during 2024-25.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Steady in limited ice
Fedotov stopped seven of eight shots he faced Thursday in the first half of a 5-4 win over New Jersey.
The only puck that got past him was a wrist shot off the stick of Ryan Schmelzer at the mid-point of the first period. Fedotov is a lock as Samuel Ersson's backup this season, and he has the talent to deliver a strong stretch of starts when he gets hot.

Flyers' Emil Andrae: Strong preseason continues
Andrae scored a goal and added two assists Thursday in a 5-4 win over New Jersey.
Andrae has had a strong preseason and is working to earn a spot as the Flyers' sixth or seventh defender. He has passed Adam Ginning on the depth chart, and is earning the trust of coach John Tortorella. Andrae won't impress on the fantasy ice, but he will give the Flyers a steady opt-in defender when the team needs a call-up.

Flyers' Matvei Michkov: Productive in preseason action
Michkov recorded three goals and four assists over four preseason appearances this year, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Hall reports that Michkov won't play in Thursday's preseason finale against New Jersey, so the No. 7 pick from the 2023 Draft will now shift his focus toward making his NHL debut on Opening Night against Vancouver on Oct. 11. Ahead of Thursday's action, Michkov's seven points during preseason play are tied with Samuel Honzek for most in the NHL during exhibition play. Michkov made 47 appearances for HC Sochi of the KHL last year and logged 19 goals and 41 points.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Between pipes Thursday
Fedotov will defend the home crease versus the Devils on Thursday, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Fedotov has allowed seven goals on 55 shots in three preseason contests. The 27-year-old Russian goaltender is expected to back up Samuel Ersson this season. Look for Aleksei Kolosov to also see action in net Thursday for the Flyers.

Flyers' Aleksei Kolosov: Playing second half
Kolosov will not be starting versus New Jersey on Thursday as previously reported but is expected to play the second half, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Kolosov's best chance of making the Opening Night roster will be if the Flyers decide to carry three netminders into the season. Even if that's the case, it seems unlikely the 22-year-old Belarussian will avoid playing at least some games in the minors with AHL Lehigh Valley. As such, Kolosov is unlikely to offer significant fantasy value this year.

Flyers' Aleksei Kolosov: In goal Thursday
Kolosov will get the starting nod at home versus the Devils on Thursday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Kolosov will get his first taste of preseason action after coming back to North America this offseason. The 22-year-old netminder is hoping to make the Flyers' Opening Night roster but would need to unseat Ivan Fedotov for the backup spot, though the team could decide to carry three goalies into the regular season. Still, Kolosov likely could be headed to the minors at some point.

Flyers' Cal Petersen: Waived Wednesday
Petersen was placed on waivers Wednesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Petersen had a 2.71 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 28 regular-season appearances with AHL Lehigh Valley last year. The 29-year-old netminder has a 46-44-10 record, 2.96 GAA and .903 save percentage across 106 career NHL games.

Flyers' Samu Tuomaala: Practicing in non-contact jersey
Tuomaala (undisclosed) practiced in a non-contact jersey Wednesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Tuomaala sustained an undisclosed injury during the 2024 Rookie Series in September, and he still appears to be limited by the issue with just over a week remaining until Opening Night. He logged 15 goals and 43 points over 69 regular-season appearances with AHL Lehigh Valley last year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in the AHL this season.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Tough loss against Boston
Ersson stopped 30 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 preseason loss to the Bruins.
The 24-year-old netminder battled to a 1-1 tie through two periods, but Ersson gave up a power-play tally to Tyler Johnson midway through the third, and Boston then piled on two empty-netters after he left the crease. Ersson had a roller-coaster 2023-24 campaign once he took over as the Flyers' starter, winning a career-high 23 games but posting a 2.82 GAA and .890 save percentage. While he heads into the current season at the top of the depth chart, he could face a stiff challenge from Ivan Fedotov if the towering Russian adapts quickly to the speed of the NHL.

Flyers' Nick Seeler: Banged up in Tuesday's game
Seeler (undisclosed) logged just one shift in the third period of Tuesday's preseason game versus the Bruins, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.
Seeler was injured earlier in the game, but he was able to play one shift in the final frame. Given it's preseason, this may just be a precautionary move on the Flyers' part. The 31-year-old defenseman is expected to fill a bottom-four role on the Flyers' blue line in 2024-25.

Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Guarding goal Tuesday
Ersson will protect the road net in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Bruins.
Ersson is set for his second start of the preseason. He should be considered the Flyers' top goalie to begin 2024-25, though he'll face pressure from Ivan Fedotov and perhaps Aleksei Kolosov to keep that spot.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Tending twine Monday
Fedotov will start Monday's road preseason contest versus the Islanders, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Fedotov will make his third appearance of the preseason -- the 27-year-old made 25 saves on 27 shots in Saturday's overtime win versus Boston. The Russian netminder will start before turning the net over to Aleksei Kolosov.

Flyers' Eetu Makiniemi: Sent to AHL
Makiniemi was assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
During his lone preseason appearance, Makiniemi stopped 13 of 14 shots across 31:14 of playing time in Monday's 5-0 loss to Montreal. In 18 regular-season outings for AHL San Jose in 2023-24, he posted an 8-8-0 record with a 3.14 GAA and a .900 save percentage. He will probably spend most, if not all, of the upcoming campaign in the minors.

Flyers' Ivan Fedotov: Guarding crease Saturday
Fedotov will defend the home net Saturday versus Boston in preseason action, Bill Meltzer of the Flyers' official site reports.
Fedotov played the first two periods of Sunday's 6-2 exhibition win over Washington, stopping 10 of 12 shots. He earned a record of 0-1-1 with a 4.95 GAA and an .811 save percentage in three regular-season outings with the Flyers in 2023-24. He is poised to start the upcoming campaign as Samuel Ersson's backup.

Flyers' Rhett Gardner: Placed on waivers
Gardner is on waivers Friday, PuckPedia reports.
Gardner had 10 goals, 23 points and 89 PIM in 60 regular-season games with AHL Lehigh Valley in 2023-24. He's also recorded a goal and two points in 41 career NHL appearances. If he isn't claimed off waivers, Gardner will likely open the 2024-25 campaign with the Flyers' top minor-league affiliate.
