Ilya Bryzgalov is happy to work alongside Steve Mason next season should the Flyers keep the tandem together.

"It's great for the team when you have two good goalies," he said. "During this season, I didn't have much opportunity for rest during a long stretch and was kind of exhausted, and when you have the luxury of having a second goalie who can play great, too, it's wonderful for the team. Healthy competition is always good." Bryzgalov's name has been linked to buyout talks, but the Flyers have denied considering that as an option.

Flyers GM Paul Holmgren denied the reports that the team is considering buying out Ilya Bryzgalov this summer.

Bryzgalov has a 2.84 GAA and .898 save percentage in 39 starts this season. He comes with a $5,666,667 annual cap hit and the Flyers are currently projected to exceed the 2013-14 salary cap. It's anticipated that they will get below it by buying out at least one contract over the summer, although it might not be Bryzgalov's. Daniel Briere, who has a $6.5 million annual cap hit, recently predicted that he will be bought out.

Ilya Bryzgalov allowed two goals on 30 shots Thursday in a 3-0 loss to New Jersey.

Bryzgalov was a surprise starter for this game after Steve Mason acquitted himself well in Tuesday's win over the Rangers and the decision deserves some second-guessing. The Flyers will be on the outside looking in when the playoffs begin.

In a bit of a surprise move, Ilya Bryzgalov will get the call for Philadelphia Thursday night when the Flyers host New Jersey.

Steve Mason was very good in Tuesday's win over the Rangers, but the Flyers look like they want to continue alternating starts between their goaltenders.

Ilya Bryzgalov kicked out 25 of 28 shots in a 7-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre Monday night.

The Philadelphia Flyers won't make the playoffs, but Bryzgalov did snap his two-game losing streak with the easy win tonight. The Flyers will have a tough time keeping up with the elite teams next season if Bryzgalov doesn't find some consistency in his game. He still remains a risky start down the stretch and a big question mark for the 2013-14 campaign.

Ilya Bryzgalov will play between the pipes on Monday.

Bryzgalov will attempt to end his two-game losing streak. The Philadelphia Flyers won't make the playoffs, but they are reportedly considering buying out Bryzgalov's contract at the end of the season. With that in mind, Bryzgalov might be playing for a job at this point.

The Philadelphia Flyers will have to make a tough call this summer when they decide whether or not to buyout Ilya Bryzgalov's contract.

Bryzgalov is wrapping up the second season of his nine-year, $51 million contract. So far that deal has been a disaster for the Flyers and not just because of Bryzgalov's mediocre numbers. In order to comfortably afford that cap hit, the Philadelphia Flyers traded Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, who went on to win the Stanley Cup with the Los Angeles Kings. Bryzgalov's addition also encouraged the Flyers to give up on young goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who has been phenomenal with Columbus. The Flyers would still need to pay two-thirds of Bryzgalov's contract if he's bought out, but because the new CBA provided teams with some amnesty buyouts, the move would relieve them of his $5,666,667 annual cap hit.

Look for Ilya Bryzgalov to get the start Saturday afternoon against the Sabres.

Sleeping during a team meeting or not, Bryz is the superior choice over newly-acquired Steve Mason against Buffalo.

Ilya Bryzgalov on Thursday denied recent reports that he fell asleep during a team meeting, calling them "embarrassing."

"You've got to prove your sources," Bryzgalov told the Philadelphia media after a 3-1 loss in which he was one of the few bright spots. "That was never happening. You became not professional journalists. You've got to do your job better. ... Find reliable sources." Bryzgalov and the Flyers have endured a nightmare 2013 and the mercurial goalie's time in Philadelphia might be coming to an end this summer as the goalie is a candidate to be bought out.

Ilya Bryzgalov kicked out 31 of 33 shots in a 3-1 loss Thursday.

Bryzgalov allowed two goals on nine shots in the third period. He has lost his last two starts, dropping his record to 17-16-3 this season.
