INJURED RESERVE

Injured Reserve · expected back around Feb 13

Grebenkin's upper-body injury has been revealed to be an issue with his back, which he has successfully had repaired. The 23-year-old winger is expected to miss the majority of the 2026-27 campaign, but his current timeline for return, barring any setbacks, projects him back sometime after the All-Star break in mid-February. When he does return, Grebenkin will look to build off a positive rookie campaign, where he compiled four goals, 14 points, 32 shots on net, 86 hits and 17 blocked shots across 55 regular-season outings in 2025-26.

Latest news

  • Grebenkin (back) underwent successful surgery and is expected to miss at least four months.

    Grebenkin's current timeline for return, barring any setbacks, projects him back sometime after the All-Star break in mid-February. When he does return, Grebenkin will look to build off a positive rookie campaign, where he compiled four goals, 14 points, 32 shots on net, 86 hits and 17 blocked shots across 55 regular-season outings in 2025-26.

  • Grebenkin (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

    Grebenkin has already missed the required week of action, so at this point he can be activated whenever given the all-clear. Still, the move will rule the forward out for Monday's clash with the Lightning, while Denver Barkey looks set to make his season debut.

  • Grebenkin (undisclosed) won't play against Carolina on Saturday, according to Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

    Grebenkin wasn't on the ice with the main group for Saturday's morning skate and isn't ready to return. He will miss his third straight game to begin the 2026-27 campaign. Grebenkin contributed four goals, 14 points, 32 shots on net and 86 hits in 55 regular-season appearances for Philadelphia in 2025-26.

  • Grebenkin (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Wednesday against Pittsburgh, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.

    Denver Barkey (lower body) also isn't available Wednesday, and head coach Rick Tocchet described Barkey as closer to returning than Grebenkin. Given that comparison to the day-to-day Barkey, Grebenkin also shouldn't be expected to play in New Jersey on Thursday. The 23-year-old Grebenkin had four goals, 14 points, 46 PIM and 86 hits in 55 regular-season appearances in 2025-26.

  • Grebenkin (undisclosed) did not practice Tuesday and was deemed day-to-day, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

    Head coach Rick Tocchet mentioned that Grebenkin, as well as Denver Barkey, are both on a day-to-day timeline. While Barkey was placed on injured reserve Monday, Grebenkin's exclusion from that list could give him the chance to suit up for Opening Night. The 23-year-old winger had a solid rookie campaign, where he posted four goals, 14 points, 32 shots on net and 86 hits across 55 regular-season outings. If he's good to go for the Flyers' Opening Night contest Wednesday, he'll probably serve in the team's bottom six.

  • Grebenkin (upper body) has resumed skating at Flyers' training camp in a regular practice jersey, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

    Grebenkin was seen participating in Philadelphia's training camp for the first time since re-aggravating his upper body injury from the end of the 2025-26 season. The 23-year-old winger's return to action is encouraging for the Flyers, who frequently had him in the lineup prior to his injury. With his clearance, Grebenkin could make his preseason debut as early as Thursday against the Bruins.
