The Philadelphia Flyers have announced that forward Ryan Poehling is now on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury sustained during a recent game against the New York Islanders. The injury was a result of a hit to the head by Maxim Tsyplakov, who has since received a three-game suspension. Prior to his injury, Poehling played 43 games for the Flyers, contributing four goals and 15 points this season.

To fill the gap left by Poehling, the Flyers have recalled forward Rodrigo Abols from their AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Abols, who signed with the Flyers in the offseason, has been performing well in the AHL with nine goals and 19 points in 34 games. This call-up presents an opportunity for Abols to make his NHL debut, potentially marking a significant milestone in his career.
