With the recent injuries and re-injuries to players on the Flyers roster, the team is now only four more injuries away from having a full roster. With Derick Brassard and Rasmus Ristolainen out for today's contest, an argument can be made that the injury roster is better than the current team.
The first line of Farabee, Couturier and Allison has a combined 843 NHL games played and the first defence pairing of York and Ellis is very skilled too.
The Flyers announced yesterday that Couturier would be out for the season after having successful back surgery. He is expected to be 100% before the start of training camp per GM Chuck Fletcher.
Flyers 2019 first round draft pick Cam York was injured last night while playing for the Phantoms in the AHL. He took a neutral ice hit in their 6-3 route of the Hershey Bears. York is set to miss 2 games minimum before being re-evaluated.
The 21-year old York played 13 games in the NHL this season scoring 1 goal and adding 2 assists for 3 NHL points.
