The Philadelphia Flyers finalized their 23-man roster for the upcoming season opener on Wednesday. General manager Daniel Briere confirmed the roster was submitted with only one projected starter, Denver Barkey, beginning the season on injured reserve. Barkey's absence opened a spot for Carl Grundström and Garrett Wilson, both of whom have made the team despite previous uncertainties about their status. Grundström impressed in his prior season with the Flyers while Wilson secured a contract late in the offseason. The remaining roster spots were solidified before the deadline, and no substantial injuries beyond Barkey were reported.
