Overview
- On Sunday, coach Rick Tocchet said Tyson Foerster and Sean Couturier were “banged up” and will be game-time decisions for Monday’s game in Colorado after both missed practice.
- Foerster blocked a shot off his shooting hand during Saturday’s win over Ottawa but finished the game, and Owen Tippett also missed that game with an upper-body injury.
- Cam York was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Oct. 8 and Oliver Bonk was recalled to fill a defensive spot, pairing with Travis Sanheim for the last four Flyers games.
- The team recalled defenseman Hunter McDonald on Sunday and sent Jack Studnicka and Helge Grans back to Lehigh Valley, showing management is balancing blue-line depth with forward needs.
- With Alex Bump scoring seven goals in five AHL games and Cole Knuble and Jett Luchanko also producing, the Flyers could call up a forward if injuries force a lineup change at morning skate, a move that would alter ice time and matchups against Colorado’s speed.
