Flyers Place Cam York on Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Cam York (upper body) was moved to Injured Reserve Sunday, Jackie Spiegel of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. The 25-year-old has missed five games with an upper-body injury, and it remains unclear when York can return. In his first five outings of the year, York didn't produce any offense. He's been more prominent defensively, recording 10 blocks and five hits. The Flyers' defense is also without Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body), leaving Oliver Bonk to fill a top-pairing role. Bonk registered one assist, five SOG, five blocks, and two hits in four outings. Even in a larger role, he lacks fantasy appeal.

Owen Tippett a Game-Time Decision Monday

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Owen Tippett (upper body) is expected to be a game-time decision on Monday against the Colorado Avalanche, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. He was also a game-time call for Saturday's matchup with Ottawa and ultimately didn't play due to an upper-body injury. After recording the second 50-point campaign of his career in 2025-26, Tippett has struggled out of the gate this season, notching one goal and one assist in two games. With Tippett on the shelf, Matvei Michkov and Porter Martone played key roles against the Senators.

Tyson Foerster Dealing With Hand Injury

Philadelphia Flyers left wing Tyson Foerster (hand) wasn't on the ice for Sunday's practice, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. The 24-year-old injured his hand when a puck hit him in Saturday's win over Ottawa. Early in the season, nothing has gone right for Foerster, who has recorded one goal and no assists in 10 appearances. Foerster will be a game-time decision for Monday's tilt against Colorado, along with Sean Couturier (undisclosed) and Owen Tippett (upper body). Philadelphia's injury situation has elevated the fantasy value of Michael Bunting, Matvei Michkov, and Porter Martone.

Sean Couturier Misses Practice

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (undisclosed) missed Sunday's practice. Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. The Flyers captain is reportedly banged up and might have to sit out his first game of the season on Monday against Colorado. In 10 outings this season, Couturier has contributed three assists, while the entire team has struggled to generate offense. With Owen Tippett (upper body) and Tyson Foerster (hand) also ailing, the offensive woes could continue in Monday's difficult matchup. Christian Dvorak and Noah Cates will have more fantasy value if Couturier doesn't play Monday night.

Owen Tippett a Game-Time Decision Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers winger Owen Tippett (upper body) is a game-time decision for Saturday's contest against the Ottawa Senators. He missed the morning skate, a bad sign for his availability, but the Flyers haven't officially ruled Tippett out yet. Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet said Tippett re-aggravated an upper-body issue in Thursday's loss to Detroit. Philadelphia can't buy a win right now, and the poor form has affected the whole team, including Tippett. He has only two points (one goal, one assist) through nine games. If Tippett is ruled out Saturday, Matvei Michkov and Porter Martone could take on bigger roles.

Rasmus Ristolainen to Remain Out Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body) will remain out on Thursday against Detroit, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports. Ristolainen isn't traveling with the team and will miss a sixth consecutive game. However, O'Connor reported that Ristolainen is close to returning, so he may be an option Saturday night against Ottawa. The Finnish blue-liner was in the lineup for the first three games of the season, registering one goal, four SOG, seven blocks, and four hits. With Cam York (upper body) also out, Oliver Bonk has taken on a big role on the Flyers' defense, though he isn't an appealing fantasy option.

Cam York Day-to-Day With Upper-Body Injury

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Cam York (upper body) was deemed day-to-day on Sunday. The Flyers had a back-to-back against Boston and Carolina over the weekend, but York didn't play in either game due to an upper-body injury. York has had a slow start to the season, going without a point in five outings. Defensively, he has averaged two blocks and one hit per game. With York out, Oliver Bonk made his season debut on Sunday against the Hurricanes and had a night to forget, finishing with a minus-three rating in a 4-1 loss.

Flyers Place Travis Konecny on Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny (lower body) was moved to Injured Reserve on Sunday, retroactive to Oct. 8. He's set to miss a second straight game against Carolina with a lower-body injury. After Sunday night, Konecny will be forced to sit out at least two more contests. In five appearances this season, Konecny has contributed three assists. He's been the most productive player on a struggling team that has scored just seven times in six games. With Konecny unavailable, Garrett Wilson made his season debut in Saturday's loss to Boston, recording five hits in 11:46 of action. He doesn't add anything offensively to the team, making Wilson irrelevant in fantasy leagues.

Nikita Grebenkin to Miss Four Months After Back Surgery

Philadelphia Flyers winger Nikita Grebenkin (back) underwent surgery and is expected to miss at least four months. The Russian forward hasn't played at all this season because of an upper-body injury, and on Saturday it was revealed that he had been dealing with a back issue that required surgery. Grebenkin had his rookie season last year, recording 14 points and 86 hits in 55 games. His injury may be why Philadelphia tapped the free-agent market earlier this week and signed Michael Bunting. The well-traveled veteran has been limited to a fourth-line role so far, going scoreless in his first two outings with the Flyers.

Denver Barkey • C • Flyers

Denver Barkey Makes Season Debut Monday

Philadelphia Flyers left wing Denver Barkey (lower body) will be in action on Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Earlier on Monday, he was activated from Injured Reserve, and it's now official: Barkey will be in the lineup. He joined Trevor Zegras and Owen Tippett on the second line during pregame warmups. Barkey made his NHL debut last season, contributing five goals and 12 assists in 43 outings. Having Zegras and Tippett as linemates boosts Barkey's fantasy value, but he's far from a must-have player.

Rasmus Ristolainen Won't Play Monday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (undisclosed) will miss Monday's contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Ristolainen didn't join his teammates for pregame warmups after being considered a game-time decision. He sustained an undisclosed injury on Saturday against Carolina. With Ristolainen out, Simon Benoit will be back in the lineup. After playing in the first two games of the season, Benoit was scratched for Saturday's action. Benoit has no fantasy value and should be ignored by managers. Travis Sanheim, Cam York, and Jamie Drysdale will carry the Flyers' defense.

Nikita Grebenkin Considered Day-to-Day

Philadelphia Flyers winger Nikita Grebenkin (undisclosed) is day-to-day, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia. The Russian forward is dealing with an undisclosed injury that could keep him out of Wednesday's season opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins. However, unlike fellow forward Denver Barkey (lower body), Grebenkin hasn't landed on Injured Reserve. This suggests he's simply banged up and may still be available against Pittsburgh. If Grebenkin can't play, the Flyers will primarily miss his physicality, as he averaged 1.6 hits per game during his rookie season last year.

Dan Vladar Practices in Full Capacity Sunday

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Dan Vladar (upper body) fully participated in Sunday's practice, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Vladar had an injury scare last week in a preseason game, but he's on track to be ready for opening night. "I wouldn't say he's 100%, but he's very hopeful," Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet said. The Czech shot-stopper had an impressive first year with the Flyers and has a big role to play in the team's success. He finished the 2025-26 campaign with a 29-14-7 record, a 2.42 goals-against average, and a .906 save percentage.

Dan Vladar Avoids Major Injury

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Dan Vladar (upper body) is day-to-day after being hurt in Tuesday's preseason game against the Boston Bruins. The Czech shot-stopper was injured in the first period when he collided with Bruins forward Tanner Jeannot. He appeared to have had an issue with his right arm or shoulder. Fortunately, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet said Wednesday that the team "dodged a bullet," suggesting Vladar's injury is less severe than first thought. Vladar has until Sept. 30 to get healthy for the regular-season opener. Philadelphia will begin the campaign with a back-to-back, so Joseph Woll should also see action in the first week.

Dan Vladar Sustains Upper-Body Injury

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Dan Vladar (upper body) saw his night end early in Tuesday's preseason contest against the Boston Bruins. He left the game in the first period due to an upper-body injury. Vladar allowed one goal on seven Boston attempts. The Czech netminder had an impressive debut campaign in Philadelphia, posting a 29-14-7 record, a 2.42 goals-against average, and a .906 save percentage. The Flyers will be sweating over his health before opening night. If Vladar misses time, Joseph Woll could take on an increased workload.

Matvei Michkov Looking "Lighter and Stronger" at Camp

Philadelphia Flyers winger Matvei Michkov is aiming to bounce back from a down year and has worked hard this offseason. According to Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet, Michkov looks "lighter and stronger skating" at training camp. Michkov has changed his diet and said he wants to "play better for the team." After collecting 63 points (26 goals, 37 assists) during his rookie campaign, Michkov managed only 51 points (20 goals, 31 assists) in 2025-26. He was a non-factor in the playoffs, contributing one assist and no goals in eight games. The Russian youngster will have lost some fans among fantasy managers after his poor year, but those who still have faith in his ability might be well rewarded in 2026-27.

Flyers Sign Nikita Grebenkin to Two-Year Deal

Philadelphia Flyers left wing Nikita Grebenkin has agreed to a two-year, $2.2 million contract with the team. The 23-year-old Russian forward was a restricted free agent and will retain his restricted free agency status in the 2028 offseason, when his new deal expires. After impressing in training camp, Grebenkin skated in 55 games last season. He recorded 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) and 86 hits. Grebenkin's rookie campaign ended early due to an upper-body injury. According to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Grebenkin is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp next month. Grebenkin will be a middle-six option for the Flyers and won't have significant fantasy value.

Matvei Michkov Eyes Bounce-Back Season After Intensive Offseason Training

Philadelphia Flyers right wing Matvei Michkov is determined to bounce back from a down year and has put in intensive work in the offseason. "There was no vacation at all, because an important season is ahead," Michkov told Daria Tuboltseva of RG. "I need to play well, I want that myself. So I need to keep my body in shape at all times." After a 63-point rookie campaign, Michkov barely cleared 50 points in his second year and ended up as a healthy scratch for a pair of postseason games. But with his talent and something to prove, Michkov could be an intriguing fantasy option next season.

Nikita Grebenkin on Track to Be Ready for Training Camp

Philadelphia Flyers left wing Nikita Grebenkin (upper body) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports. Grebenkin, who is a restricted free agent, suffered an upper-body injury in late March and missed the end of the season. The 23-year-old Russian earned 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) in 55 games during his rookie campaign. He was also a physical presence in the Flyers' lineup, finishing with 86 hits. Grebenkin did not require surgery, indicating that his injury was not very severe. He will compete for a bottom-six role in training camp.

Trevor Zegras Wants to Improve as Center

Philadelphia Flyers forward Trevor Zegras is determined to become a more effective player at the center position, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports. Zegras, who recently signed a four-year, $36.5 million contract extension, prefers to play at center but has also spent time on the left wing. Difficulty winning faceoffs has hindered his development. "I feel pretty comfortable in both spots, whether it's in the middle or on the wing, so wherever they need me to play, I'm more than comfortable in both spots," Zegras. "I thought playing center in the playoffs was definitely something that gave me a lot of confidence. So I think wherever they need me, I'm good to go." Last season, Zegras won only 34.1 percent of his faceoffs. He pushed the number to 44.0 percent in the playoffs. If Zegras becomes more reliable in the faceoff circle, he could see increased ice time and boost his fantasy value.
