Flyers Activate Oliver Bonk, Assign Top Prospect to AHL Phantoms

Overview

• Bonk was medically cleared after an upper‑body injury sustained in rookie camp that kept him out for roughly the first 20 games.
• Local reports indicate he could make his professional debut for Lehigh Valley this weekend.
• Lehigh Valley’s defense group is crowded, with as many as eight options and multiple right shots competing for ice time.
• Team officials favor a gradual return at the AHL level rather than a quick NHL push after his extended layoff.
• Related moves saw Adam Ginning assigned to Lehigh Valley after clearing waivers, Carter Berger loaned to Reading, and Sawyer Boulton recalled.
