Flyers activate Denver Barkey; place Nikita Grebenkin on IR

The Philadelphia Flyers announced two roster moves on Monday, activating center Denver Barkey from injured reserve and placing winger Nikita Grebenkin on IR. Barkey is set to make his season debut against the Tampa Bay Lightning after missing the first three regular-season games with a lower-body injury sustained in the preseason.

Grebenkin was placed on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury suffered on September 24 against the Boston Bruins. Because he has already missed enough time, Grebenkin is eligible to return once healthy, but the transactional move was required to open an active roster spot for Barkey.
