Prior to the Philadelphia Flyers starting training camp, not many people would’ve thought that Adam Ginning would have the inside track to a roster spot on October 1. However, after the rest of the blueliners battling for a spot struggled, the Swedish rearguard appears to be penciled into the opening night roster.
Veteran additions Dennis Gilbert and Noah Juulsen are here, and while they bring more NHL experience than Ginning, they’ve also had more blunders throughout the preseason.
Ginning is one of eight healthy defensemen remaining in training camp, and he’s doing all the right things to impress Rick Tocchet and the rest of the Flyers coaching staff.
