The revolving door of injury replacements spins on.
With Emil Andrae out for an indeterminate amount of time with a mid-body injury, and Cam York still not quite ready to return to the lineup, the Flyers needed to bring up another body to fill in on the back end, and this time it was Helge Grans getting the call. He’s set to make his NHL debut this evening against the Avalanche.
And while it’s not an optimal situation for the Flyers to be shorthanded again, it’s a well deserved nod for Grans. His first season with the organization — after coming over in part of the trade which shipped out Ivan Provorov — was somewhat forgettable, as he got a full season with the Phantoms under his belt in 2023-24, but failed to make the same impression as other defenders in the mix down there like Andrae, as well as Adam Ginning and Ronnie Attard.
