@NHLAdamK Flyers coach John Tortorella says Travis Konecny will play tonight, as will defenseman Justin Braun, and Flyers will go with 11 forwards and 7 D tonight.
Also, Sean Couturier will not play again this season. Decision was made by coaching, management and medical staffs
@NHLAdamK John Tortorella said decision to keep Couturier out was made about 10-14 days ago. Said there have been no setbacks in his recovery, that the only concern is another injury from Couturier not being up to the speed of the game.

@JameyBaskow Sam Ersson has been loaned back to the Phantoms

@JameyBaskow Morgan Frost has shown the most improvement this season. He's making some believers again, and with his nifty assist on Sanheim's goal last night he now has 4g,5a in his last 8 games playedHe's figured things out apparently, and he is confident. 📸: @hartlinepix @hartlinepix https://t.co/rjbaXyqqbz

@billmeltzer Crunched some numbers w/ Frost to compare to the narrative that he's "only lately" started to come on.
* Flyers leading scorer since New Year's (24 points). * Last 47 games: tied for team scoring lead (32 points). * Last 50: Leads team w/ 28 EV points, leads forwards w/ 20A.

@NHLAdamK No real update from Flyers coach John Tortorella on goalie Carter Hart. Lower-body injury, happened during morning skate. No word on how long he might be out
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 28, 2023
@ReinerOlivia The Flyers have recalled Sam Ersson from the Phantoms on an emergency basis. Carter Hart is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

@charlieo_conn Tortorella confirms that Tyson Foerster and Egor Zamula will be sent down today/tomorrow.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 25, 2023
@charlieo_conn Nice little going-away present for Foerster if, as Tortorella has hinted, he heads back down to the AHL tomorrow to help the Phantoms in their playoff push.

@ReinerOlivia It's a skate issue for Cam York, per Flyers spokesperson. He's playing today.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 25, 2023
@ReinerOlivia Cam York went up the tunnel early during warmups and has not returned to the ice. Line rushes beginning shortly.

@FlyerItUp Tank for Bedard crowd likely isn't thrilled with PHI getting 5 of last 6 pts but when young player are the main catalysts in the wins and are producing offense its a good thing:

@JameyBaskow Tyson Foerster registered 2 assists tonight. Kid is killing it 1g,4a in his last 3 games played.

@charlieo_conn Tortorella says he's not going to give daily updates on Couturier and Konecny, but admits that TK remains further away from a return than Couturier is.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 20, 2023
@charlieo_conn Per Flyers PR, Owen Tippett is a little banged up and that's why he left practice early. But they're still deeming it to be a maintenance day.

@charlieo_conn Owen Tippett gets the hat trick on a breakaway. That's 21 on the season, huge game for him. 5-1 Flyers.
— NHL Game Day Stats (@GameDayStatsNHL) Mar 17, 2023
@JameyBaskow John Tortorella says she has uncertain if TK will return to the lineup again this season, but did elaborate saying Sean Couturier "Is closer" than TK.
"I'm leaving it up to the medical staff." He stated that the medical staff will come to him when he thinks either is ready

@charlieo_conn Travis Konecny is on the ice for morning skate today in a non contact jersey.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 17, 2023
@JameyBaskow John Tortorella said that there will not be a daily Coots update. He did say that the first step would be medical to come to him and let him know that he's cleared for a hockey game, and that's when Torts, Coots, and Briere will all talk and make a decision.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 16, 2023
@BroadStBull Midway through practice, Coots and TK are doing drills with skills coach Angelo Ricci while the rest of the team is practicing on the other rink. #Flyers

@charlieo_conn Wade Allison and Carter Hart are both on the ice for practice today.

@ReinerOlivia Sean Couturier is present for practice wearing a non-contact jersey.

@BroadStBull #Flyers send Ersson back to Phantoms, per Briere.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 15, 2023
@ReinerOlivia Sean Couturier said participating in morning skate was a step in the right direction. Later in the week, he'd like to get a real practice in. He's taking things day by day, but setting his sights high.
"Hopefully, I'm good to play a couple games."
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 14, 2023
@charlieo_conn Tortorella said that he'd prefer Couturier to start fresh next season. But he said Couturier is "out of his mind" because he can't play. If he's fully cleared health-wise, they'll "have that discussion."

@giana_jade Owen Tippett said he's feeling fine, just a bit sore. Said it was a stinger he had to walk off. But John Tortorella was hesitant to say Tippett's good. Said he wants them to evaluate him further because sometimes you don't feel it until later.

@NHLFlyers OFFICIAL: The Flyers have released Chuck Fletcher from his duties as President of Hockey Operations and General Manager. Daniel Brière, currently serving as Special Assistant to the General Manager, has been named Interim General Manager. https://t.co/xALLfVcFnh

@ReinerOlivia From me and @giana_jade: Chuck Fletcher is out as Flyers GM and president of hockey ops. Danny Brière has been named interim GM. The Flyers plan to permanently fill two separate roles of GM and president of hockey ops. @PhillyInquirer https://t.co/zucc5nsyB5

@NHLPlayerSafety Philadelphia’s Tony DeAngelo has been suspended for two games for Spearing Tampa Bay’s Corey Perry. https://t.co/oUumwzAIbM
@JHallNBCS Cam York had to leave practice after getting hit in the face and going hard into the boards. He appeared to be OK, but was bleeding and holding a towel to his face as he departed.
@charlieo_conn Fletcher says Couturier is making progress and they're happy with it. But not sure if there's going to be enough runway for him to return this season.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Feb 28, 2023
@charlieo_conn Fletcher says that he doesn't think TK is necessarily out for the season, but he may be.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Feb 28, 2023
@ReinerOlivia Tortorella said that Travis Konecny (upper body) is going to be "out for a while." Sounds like more information will be coming later today.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Feb 27, 2023
@BroadStBull Ersson will remain with @LVPhantoms, Torts says, because it’s important they make the AHL playoffs. #Flyers
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Feb 27, 2023
@JHallNBCS Justin Braun is in for Cam York. John Tortorella just wants to get York a day.
James van Riemsdyk is out tonight, little banged up, per Tortorella. Probably a little asset management.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Feb 25, 2023
@charlieo_conn To be clear, Konecny still might end up missing extended time. But the IR placement by itself doesn't necessarily mean that is the case.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Feb 25, 2023
@charlieo_conn Putting Travis Konecny on normal IR doesn't necessarily mean he'll be out for a long time. Because he's on IR, he has to sit out 7 days -- but it can be backdated. So in theory, the seven days could be up as soon as next Tuesday -- before the Flyers' next game on Wednesday.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Feb 25, 2023
@billmeltzer The Flyers have placed Travis Konecny on Injured Reserve (upper body) and have recalled Elliot Desnoyers from Lehigh Valley. Desnoyers will wear #73 and make his NHL debut tonight against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center.
