Two games remain in the Flyers preseason, but Thursday’s preseason finale is expected to feature more of the New Jersey Devils minor-league squad, considering the NHL roster will already be starting the regular season with the Global Series in Prague. That means that Tuesday’s preseason game against the Boston Bruins is more of a final audition for the regular season than Thursday’s preseason finale may be.

As such, the Flyers roster looks very close to what the final roster could be, with a few roster hopefuls getting more action.

The Flyers roster for the game is as follows:

Forwards

10 Bobby Brink
11 Travis Konecny
14 Sean Couturier
17 Jett Luchanko
19 Garnet Hathaway
39 Matvei Michkov
48 Morgan Frost
71 Tyson Foerster
73 Elliot Desnoyers
74 Owen Tippett
78 Jacob Gaucher
90 Anthony Richard

Defensemen

6 Travis Sanheim
8 Cam York
9 Jamie Drysdale
24 Nick Seeler
41 Hunter McDonald
59 Oliver Bonk

Goalies

33 Sam Ersson
40 Cal Petersen

There are really four standouts in the roster that are not solidified on the roster, and have yet to be cut as well. Jett Luchanko gets another game, while Anthony Richard will play on back-to-back nights. On the blue line, the projected Top-4 for the regular season are joined by Hunter McDonald and Oliver Bonk.

Sam Ersson is expected to start in goal and could once again get the full game in a final tune-up in the preseason.

The Bruins roster for Tuesday’s game is as follows:

Forwards

19 Johnny Beecher
55 Justin Brazeau
13 Charlie Coyle
11 Trent Frederic
39 Morgan Geekie
90 Tyler Johnson
47 Mark Kastelic
45 Cole Koepke
28 Elias Lindholm
63 Brad Marchand
88 David Pastrnak
48 Jeffrey Viel
18 Pavel Zacha

Defensemen

25 Brandon Carlo
27 Hampus Lindholm
6 Mason Lohrei
73 Charlie McAvoy
82 Jordan Oesterle
52 Andrew Peeke
91 Nikita Zadorov

Goalies

30 Brandon Bussi
80 Michael DiPietro

Tuesday’s game is not televised locally, but will be available to stream via the Flyers website and on ESPN+. You can also listen to the game on the Flyers Radio Network.
