The Flyers’ fourth line is like most fourth lines on any National Hockey League club: they’re limited in their minutes, they are often “energy” lines which throw body checks and stir things up, and they rarely end up being huge offensive producers. For this first eight games of the 2025-26 season, Philadelphia has had a bit of a rotating crew who have assumed the bottom three positions. Rodrigo Abols has been used in that capacity. The same goes for Nikita Grebenkin, Garnet Hathaway, Nic Deslauriers, and Jett Luchanko.
But on Monday, the musical chairs saw one less player trying to get some playing time.
