Gaucher was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Gaucher has appeared in four games for the Flyers this season and has yet to register his first NHL point. He has racked up 20 goals and 16 helpers in 66 minor-league games for the Phantoms this campaign. Gaucher could be back with the big club soon as a member of the Black Aces.

Bonk was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Bonk made his NHL debut Tuesday, providing a goal and an assist to lead the Flyers to a 4-2 victory over Montreal. That fantastic performance will help make his case when he's competing for an NHL roster spot during training camp, but for now, he'll focus on closing out the campaign for Lehigh Valley, which will not make the Calder Cup Playoffs. The 21-year-old defenseman has six goals, 19 points and 22 PIM in 44 outings with the AHL squad in 2025-26. Bonk is unlikely to play for Philadelphia during its playoff run, but he might eventually join the club as a Black Ace to get a taste of the postseason atmosphere.

Richard was loaned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Richard made his first NHL appearance of 2025-26 in the Flyers' regular-season finale against the Canadiens on Tuesday. He has 18 goals and 44 points in 63 AHL outings this campaign. Richard could be back wth the Flyers soon as part of the Black Aces squad during the playoffs.

Lyon (lower body) will not be an option for Game 1 of the postseason, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports Wednesday.

Lyon is reportedly on track to return at some point during the first-round series, though head coach Lindy Ruff didn't offer a specific recovery timeline. Once Lyon receives the all-clear, he will likely face an uphill battle to unseat Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen as Buffalo's starter.

Ostlund (upper body) isn't expected to be ready for Game 1 of Buffalo's first-round series against Boston, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 on Wednesday.

Ostlund is getting close, so he might still be ready to return early in the first-round series. The 22-year-old will finish the regular season with 11 goals and 27 points in 60 appearances in 2025-26. Ostlund is likely to serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's available.

Gibson will defend the road crease in Wednesday's regular-season finale against Florida, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Gibson hasn't been particularly sharp in recent weeks, going 2-4-1 with a 3.74 GAA and .876 save percentage over his last seven appearances. He made a pair of starts against the Panthers in March and went 0-2-0 with a 3.06 GAA and .880 save percentage.

Jarnkrok (undisclosed) will miss Toronto's regular-season finale against Ottawa on Wednesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Jarnkrok will conclude 2025-26 with six goals, eight points, eight PIM, 45 shots, 33 hits and 11 blocks in 56 appearances. Michael Pezzetta will draw into the lineup Wednesday due to Jarnkrok's absence.

Garand is slated to start Wednesday's road clash with Tampa Bay, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

Garand will get the final start of the season while making just his third NHL appearance. In his prior two outings, the 23-year-old backstop went 1-0-1 with a 1.44 GAA. While Igor Shesterkin will remain the No. 1 option in the Big Apple next year, Garand should be in line to step up as the backup now that Jonathan Quick is hanging up his skates.

Amadio won't play Wednesday against Toronto for rest purposes, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Amadio appeared in each of Ottawa's first 81 games of the regular season, racking up 15 goals, 20 assists, 105 hits, 51 blocked shots and 18 PIM while averaging 16:07 of ice time. He'll get a night off to close out the regular season, but he should be back in action for the start of postseason play.

Ahcan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

Ahcan has two assists in 11 outings with the Avalanche in 2025-26. He also has 11 goals, 50 points and 46 PIM across 60 appearances with AHL Colorado this season.
