Flyers news:

Ryan Ellis. Big offseason trade with Nashville.

He played the first three games of the season, then suffered a lower body injury that was taking a while to heal, according to Alain Vigneault. He came back this past weekend, played 18 minutes in Dallas, then re-aggravated the injury and is now on IR.

So no Ellis for the foreseeable future. It’ll be, we assume, Provy and Justin Braun as the top D pair, then Sanheim and Risto, then Yandle and Seeler. Gotta check with Russ and Ant, since they are the hockey guys.
