The Story in 60 Seconds

The Philadelphia Flyers and all NHL teams must submit their cap-compliant, 23-man opening-night rosters by 5:00 p.m. ET on Monday, September 28, 2026. The regular season begins on September 29, ahead of the Flyers' home opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins on September 30. Philadelphia's roster currently sits at 24 players, meaning the team must make at least one additional roster move before the submission deadline.

Recent camp cuts and loans sent Cole Knuble, Jett Luchanko, Oliver Bonk, Jacob Gaucher, and goaltender Aleksei Kolosov to the AHL Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Additionally, forward Garrett Wilson was signed to a one-year, two-way contract, while defenseman Helge Grans was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury.
