Andrae will not suit up in Game 2 against the Penguins on Monday because of an upper-body injury and is day-to-day.
Andrae didn't practice Sunday and managed only 9:39 of ice time in Game 1 on Saturday, but it's unclear if that was a result of the injury or performance-related reasons. Noah Juulsen will draw into the lineup Monday and skate next to Nick Seeler on the third pairing. Game 3 is scheduled for Wednesday in Philadelphia.

Rotowire
Vladar will start Game 2 on the road against Pittsburgh on Monday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Across his last seven outings, he's gone 6-1-0 with a 1.84 GAA and .917 save percentage.

Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Opens scoring in Game 1
Rotowire
Drysdale scored a goal, added two PIM and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins in Game 1.
Drysdale ended the regular season on an 11-game goal drought, but he didn't have to wait long to find the twine in the playoffs. The defenseman matched his career high of 32 points in 78 regular-season outings this year. Saturday marked his playoff debut, and he'll be counted on for top-four minutes and power-play time as the Flyers look to make an unexpected run.

Flyers' Travis Sanheim: Finds twine Saturday
Rotowire
Sanheim scored a goal, added four PIM and logged three hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins in Game 1.

Sanheim added 95 shots on net, 152 blocked shots, 46 hits and a plus-12 rating. Before this postseason, he produced eight points over 20 outings across two prior playoff runs.

Flyers' Porter Martone: Tallies in Game 1 win
Rotowire
Martone scored a goal, added three hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins in Game 1.
Martone has gotten on the scoresheet in seven straight games and eight of his 10 outings overall at the NHL level. The 19-year-old jumped right in after signing out of Michigan State University. He's seeing critical top-six minutes and a power-play role, so Martone should be a popular pick for DFS contests and playoff pools, particularly as a steady source of shots and hits.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Picks up win in playoff opener
Rotowire
Vladar stopped 15 of 17 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins in Game 1.
Vladar did his part, and the Flyers' defense also looked strong to limit the shots he faced. The 28-year-old netminder won five of his last six regular-season outings, posting a 1.81 GAA and a .921 save percentage in that span. Vladar will be the Flyers' clear No. 1 during their playoff run, though the Penguins should be able to offer a tougher challenge in later contests. Game 2 is set for Monday in Pittsburgh.
Skinner will patrol the home crease against Philadelphia on Saturday in Game 1, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Skinner went 2-0-1 in three games against the Flyers during the 2025-26 regular season, stopping 64 of 71 shots. Still, he was inconsistent down the stretch, posting a 4-4-1 record with a 3.50 GAA and an .876 save percentage in his last 10 outings.

Rotowire
Vladar will defend the road cage against Pittsburgh in Game 1 on Saturday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
Vladar was a major reason why the Flyers are in the playoffs. He posted a 29-14-7 record with a 2.42 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 52 regular-season contests in 2025-26. However, he did struggle against the Penguins, going 1-1-0 while allowing eight goals on only 50 shots.
Dvorak (undisclosed) returned to practice Friday, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Dvorak sat out the final game of the regular season Tuesday. The 30-year-old had his best season in his 10-year NHL career, picking up 51 points in 80 contests in 2025-26. He is slated to center the second line between Travis Konecny and Porter Martone when the Flyers take on the Penguins in Game 1 on Saturday.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Will miss start of playoffs
Rotowire
Grebenkin (upper body) is not expected to be ready for the start of the postseason, Bill Meltzer of the Flyers' official site reports Thursday.
According to head coach Rick Tocchet, Grebenkin will need to get some practice time in before he can return to the lineup, and he hasn't been able to do much in the way of skating. While the team didn't put an official timeline on the 22-year-old winger's potential return, he should probably be expected to miss at least the first few games of the series.
