Flyers make surprising recall ahead of roster freeze

After learning of Tyson Foerster's season-ending surgery, the Flyers had some decisions to make. They could ride with the players they had and possibly make a depth call-up. Or they could turn to one of their top prospects and give them a chance.

They went with the latter, but not with the player most fans expected.

Transactions: We have recalled forward Denver Barkey from the @LVPhantoms (AHL).

Additionally, defenseman Egor Zamula has cleared waivers and has been loaned to Lehigh Valley.— Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) December 19, 2025

Denver Barkey has certainly earned this recall.
