Kolosov made 25 saves in a 4-1 win over Detroit on Thursday.
Kolosov wasn't busy the first two periods -- he saw just 14 shots. Ben Chiarot finally beat him late in the third to pull the Wings to within one goal, and his mates drained two empty-net goals to seal the win. It was a nice rebound for Kolosov, who had allowed four goals in each of his last two games, both losses. He's a mid-option when he's in the blue paint, as he's still adjusting to North American ice. But the potential is there.

Flyers' Aleksei Kolosov: Takes loss in relief Thursday
Rotowire
Kolosov turned aside 16 of 20 shots in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Panthers, taking the decision after replacing Ivan Fedotov to begin the second period.
It wasn't a great showing from either Philadelphia netminder, but three of the four goals Kolosov allowed at least came on Florida power plays. Samuel Ersson (lower body) has begun practicing this week, and he figures to immediately reclaim the No. 1 job in the Philadelphia crease as soon as he's ready to come off IR -- something that could happen as soon as Saturday in Boston. Through eight appearances this season, Kolosov has gone 3-5-0 with a 3.22 GAA and .882 save percentage.

Flyers' Aleksei Kolosov: Starter status in doubt
Rotowire
Kolosov, who was announced by the Flyers as the starter against Tampa Bay on Thursday, appears to have suffered an undisclosed injury during the game-day skate, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Kolosov's status as the starter should probably be considered doubtful at this point. Even if it is a minor issue, the team almost certainly wouldn't want to risk him and would go with Ivan Fedotov instead. Still, fantasy players may have to wait until warmups at this point to determine who will be between the pipes versus the Bolts on Thursday.
