VOORHEES, N.J. \u2014 It looks like the Flyers are getting an important piece back in their lineup.<\/p>\n
Cam York is expected to be activated off injured reserve for Thursday when the Flyers host the Jets (7 p.m. ET\/NBCSP). The 24-year-old missed the first three games of the season with a lower-body injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n York took part in morning skate Monday and practiced the last two days. On Wednesday, he skated alongside Travis Sanheim, his regular top-pair defensive partner.<\/p>\n Rick Tocchet said there was a possibility York could return Thursday, but it appears to be highly likely. That’s because the Flyers opened up a roster spot. They sent Emil Andrae back to AHL affiliate Lehigh Valley, a source confirmed Wednesday.<\/p>\n Here were the Flyers’ pairs in practice, with Andrae and Egor Zamula appearing to serve as the extras.<\/p>\n Cam York-Travis Sanheim Andrae played well in limited minutes of the Flyers’ 5-2 home-opening win Monday over the Panthers. But he’s the only defenseman the Flyers don’t have to risk losing on waivers, so he has become the odd man out for now.<\/p>\n “I thought Andrae did a really nice job,” Tocchet said Wednesday.<\/p>\n The 23-year-old was called up Sunday<\/a> after being somewhat surprisingly assigned to the Phantoms<\/a> before the final two preseason games.<\/p>\n
