The Philadelphia Flyers recalled wingers Alex Bump and Cole Knuble from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on Sunday ahead of Monday's matchup against the Colorado Avalanche.
Injuries have depleted the Flyers' forward corps. Travis Konecny is on injured reserve, while Owen Tippett and Tyson Foerster are sidelined with upper-body injuries. Defenseman Cam York was also placed on IR. Sean Couturier's availability for Monday remains uncertain.
Knuble, 22, is expected to make his NHL debut against Colorado. He has just over a dozen games of professional experience and had one goal and three assists in six AHL contests this season. He had served as a top-line winger under Phantoms coach John Snowden.
Bump, also 22, began the season with the Flyers but last played for the club on Oct. 3 in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. He was previously benched by Tocchet on Oct. 1 during a 3-2 OT defeat to the New Jersey Devils. Bump has scored in each of his five AHL games this season, totaling seven goals and eight points.
Sunday's other roster moves included sending Jack Studnicka to the AHL, recalling defenseman Hunter McDonald, and assigning Helge Grans to the Phantoms.
