Overview
- The Flyers activated forward Denver Barkey and expect him to make his season debut Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
- Philadelphia placed Nikita Grebenkin on injured reserve with an upper-body injury in the corresponding roster move.
- Coach Rick Tocchet said Barkey will be used both at center and wing but will probably play on the wing in tonight’s game.
- Winger Alex Bump is likely to be a healthy scratch to open a roster spot, Rasmus Ristolainen’s availability remains a game-time decision, and Dan Vladar is slated to start in goal.
- Barkey missed time after a lower-body hit in the preseason by Capitals defenseman Martin Fehérváry and his return is intended to add playmaking and puck-possession skills to help revive a slow early-season Flyers offense.
