Flyers' Egor Zamula: Recalled from minors
Zamula was elevated from AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday.
The addition of Zamula could be an indication that there is an injury on the Flyers' blue line, though nothing official has been announced as of yet. Even if there is an injury, Zamula may be hard-pressed to break into the lineup for Tuesday's clash with the Panthers. For his part, Zamula has appeared in 11 NHL games this season in which he garnered two assists, six shots and six hits while averaging just 13:45 of ice time.

Flyers' Felix Sandstrom: Can't buy win
Sandstrom made 29 saves in a 5-4 overtime loss to Carolina on Saturday.

And then Sebastian Aho completed his hat trick on a rush just 28 seconds into overtime. Sandstrom is 1-10-2 on the season and has just one win in 18 starts over the last two seasons.

Flyers' Tony DeAngelo: Two-point night Friday
DeAngelo picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Flyers' Ivan Provorov: Logs efficient performance
Provorov went plus-3 with an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
This was the first point in eight games for Provorov, who's averaging a career low in TOI (00:55) on the power play. On a positive note, the 26-year-old defenseman has racked up 144 blocked shots through 68 games. Fantasy managers may still find him useful in deep leagues, but his stock has faded considerably since his career-high 41-point output in 2017-18.
