Aleksei Kolosov Makes NHL Debut for Flyers

News summary

Aleksei Kolosov made his NHL debut for the Philadelphia Flyers, becoming the first Belarusian goalie to start an NHL game, but the team suffered a 4-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. The Flyers have struggled this season, now holding a record of 2-6-1, and have allowed four or more goals in seven of their nine games. Coach John Tortorella noted the need for better goaltending, leading to Kolosov's insertion into the lineup after issues with incumbent goalies Samuel Ersson and Ivan Fedotov. Kolosov's path to the NHL was tumultuous, including a summer standoff with the Flyers over his desire to avoid the AHL. Despite the loss, Kolosov made 20 saves on 24 shots, showing potential amidst the team's challenges. He was drafted by the Flyers in the third round in 2021 and previously played in the KHL before joining the AHL last season.
