The Philadelphia Flyers have loaned forward Alex Bump to their American Hockey League affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. The 22-year-old has experienced a slow offensive start this season, failing to score in eight NHL games while averaging 12:38 of ice time. The roster reassignment aims to grant Bump more regular playing time as he continues his development in professional hockey.
The decision also comes as the Flyers prepare for the imminent returns of forwards Travis Konecny and Owen Tippett. Philadelphia chose to retain Cole Knuble on the NHL roster over Bump following Knuble's three-point start. Bump previously excelled in the AHL, already tallying seven goals in five minor-league contests to begin the 2026-27 campaign.
