The Philadelphia Flyers face a tough challenge as defenseman Cam York is sidelined for at least two weeks due to an upper-body injury. General Manager Danny Brière indicated that York may be placed on injured reserve, following a hard hit during a game against the Washington Capitals.

York's absence leaves a significant gap in the Flyers' defense, as he had been a key player alongside Travis Sanheim. The team will need to make adjustments, potentially recalling Emil Andrae or goalie Alexei Kolosov, as they prepare to face the Montreal Canadiens.
