Lycksell was waived by the Flyers on Friday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Lycksell recorded a goal and five points in 18 outings with Philadelphia in 2023-24. He also scored 19 goals and 39 points across 38 regular-season contests with AHL Lehigh Valley. Should he clear waivers, the 25-year-old is likely to be reassigned to the AHL and continue to dominate at that level, but he probably won't receive more than bottom-six responsibilities should Philadelphia recall him at some point during 2024-25.

Flyers' Olle Lycksell: Elevated from minors
Rotowire
Lycksell was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday.
Lycksell's promotion could be an indication that there is an injury among the forwards ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Maple Leafs. Over his nine previous NHL appearances this season, the 24-year-old Lycksell managed three assists, 13 shots and one hit while averaging 9:47 of ice time. If Lycksell were to get into the lineup Tuesday, it would likely be in a bottom-six role.

Lycksell was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Thursday, per CapFriendly.
Lycksell has played just one of the Flyers' seven games since the All-Star break, so it's no surprise his time with the big club has run out for now. Tyson Foerster (lower body) may also be nearing a return, which would mean the Flyers won't need an extra depth forward around.

Rotowire
Lycksell notched an assist and four PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.
Lycksell took a double-minor for high-sticking that led to the Oilers' game-tying goal. Before that, he had a secondary helper on Owen Tippett's second-period tally, which earned the 23-year-old Lycksell his first NHL point in six appearances. The winger has added four shots on goal, six blocked shots, six PIM and an even plus-minus rating. He'll have a chance to stick in the lineup while the Flyers are missing multiple regulars up front.
