The Story in 60 Seconds

The Philadelphia Flyers announced multiple roster adjustments, recalling defenseman Hunter McDonald from the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms and placing defenseman Cam York on injured reserve with an upper-body injury. Philadelphia also reassigned defenseman Helge Grans and forward Jack Studnicka to Lehigh Valley, reducing the active NHL roster to 21 players ahead of their upcoming game against the Colorado Avalanche.

The roster transactions clear space for the potential activation of forward Travis Konecny and defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen from injured reserve. Meanwhile, forwards Sean Couturier and Tyson Foerster are reportedly game-time decisions. York's injured reserve placement is retroactive to October 8, making him eligible for immediate activation once healthy, though the team has not established a specific recovery timeline.
