The Philadelphia Flyers announced two transactions on Monday, as they activated center Denver Barkey off injured reserve and placed winger Nikita Grebenkin on IR.

Barkey is set to play his first hockey game since the Flyers’ first preseason game, a 5-2 loss to the Washington Capitals on September 21st, as he sustained a lower-body injury. He later tweaked that injury during practice, which resulted in his IR placement and missing the first three games of the regular season. According to Daily Faceoff’s projected lines, Barkey is projected to play on the fourth line with Sean Couturier and Noel Acciari for Monday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning .
