Defenseman Cam York is out of the lineup on Saturday and is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury. York completed the game against teh Ottawa Senators on Thursday. It is unclear when the injury was sustained.
Travis Konecny was also banged up during the game against the Senators. The Flyers' alternate captain briefly left the ice after sustaining a lower-body injury in the third period. Konecny looked to be in pain, but completed the game. He is now out on Saturday as well and is considered to be day-to-day.
Garrett Wilson will draw into the lineup in his place.
The team also announced that forward Nikita Grebenkin , who has yet to play this season, underwent successful back surgery, likely repairing the upper-body injury that kept him out since March 21st last season, and most of training camp. He will be out for a minimum of 4 months.

Updates will be provided on the injured Flyers when more are available.
