Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Undergoes successful surgery
Grebenkin (back) underwent successful surgery and is expected to miss at least four months.
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.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Lands on injured reserve
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.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Not playing Saturday
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.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Unavailable Wednesday
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.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Listed as day-to-day
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.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Back at practice Tuesday
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.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Questionable for start of camp
Grebenkin (upper body) aggravated his injury and could miss the start of Flyers' training camp, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Grebenkin appears to have some lingering effects from the upper-body injury that kept him sidelined during the final stretch of Philadelphia's regular season and postseason run. Across 55 regular-season games, the 23-year-old winger contributed in a checking-line role, posting four goals, 14 points, 32 shots on net and 86 hits. If Grebenkin is set to miss the start of Flyers' training camp, he'll likely have to re-earn an everyday role amid the team's forward depth. His main competition for playing time will be Denver Barkey and Alex Bump.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Signs two-year deal
Grebenkin signed a two-year, $2.2 million contract with the Flyers on Thursday.
Grebenkin recovered from an upper-body injury over the summer, which had kept him out for 23 games (regular season and playoffs) to end 2025-26. He established himself as a regular when healthy, earning 14 points with 32 shots on net, 46 PIM and 86 hits over 55 regular-season outings last year. Grebenkin will be in the mix for bottom-six minutes again in 2026-27.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Slated to be ready for camp
Grebenkin (upper body) is expected to be fine for the start of training camp, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports on Thursday.
Grebenkin didn't end up needing surgery to address his upper-body issue. He missed the final 13 games of the 2025-26 regular season and Philadelphia's entire playoff run due to the injury. The 23-year-old isn't a guarantee to be a mainstay in the Flyers' lineup in 2026-27, but he will compete for a bottom-six spot after recording four goals, 14 points, 46 PIM and 86 hits across 55 regular-season appearances last campaign.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Could miss start of season
Grebenkin (upper body) may not be ready for the start of the 2026-27 campaign, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports Thursday.
Grebenkin has been sidelined since March 21 versus the Sharks due to his upper-body problem, a stretch of 23 games that included the playoffs as well. Before getting hurt, the 23-year-old winger was mired in a 16-game goal drought, notching a mere three helpers along the way. Even when healthy, Grebenkin could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Still out indefinitely
Grebenkin (upper body) still isn't close to being available to return to the lineup, Jonathan Bailey of The Hockey News reports Saturday.
Grebenkin hasn't played since March 21 against San Jose, but he could become a consideration if Philadelphia has a long playoff run. However, the Flyers will probably need to be involved in a long Eastern Conference Finals series to make him an option. Philadelphia is facing elimination from the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs on Saturday in Round 2 against the Hurricanes, trailing the best-of-seven series 3-0.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Will miss start of playoffs
Grebenkin (upper body) is not expected to be ready for the start of the postseason, Bill Meltzer of the Flyers' official site reports Thursday.
According to head coach Rick Tocchet, Grebenkin will need to get some practice time in before he can return to the lineup, and he hasn't been able to do much in the way of skating. While the team didn't put an official timeline on the 22-year-old winger's potential return, he should probably be expected to miss at least the first few games of the series.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Not close to return
Grebenkin (upper body) isn't close to returning to the lineup, Jonathan Bailey of The Hockey News reported Thursday.
Grebenkin hasn't played since March 21, but the Flyers hope he will be an option for the playoffs should the team secure a spot. He has accounted for four goals, 14 points, 32 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and 86 hits across 55 appearances this season.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Facing multi-game absence
The Flyers announced Thursday that Grebenkin (upper body) is slated to miss 7-10 days.
Grebenkin had already been ruled out for Thursday's game against Chicago, and he'll miss at least a week due to his upper-body injury before being re-evaluated. Sean Couturier will likely continue to see increased playing time while Grebenkin is sidelined.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Expected to miss Thursday's game
Grebenkin (upper body) isn't expected to play Thursday versus Chicago, per Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Grebenkin didn't play in Tuesday's game against Columbus, but it's unclear if his absence was due to an injury. He has a doctor's appointment Wednesday to determine his recovery timeline. He has four goals, 14 points, 48 PIM and 86 hits in 55 appearances in 2025-26. Grebenkin will be in the mix for a bottom-six role once he's healthy.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Pots goal in loss
Grebenkin scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.
Grebenkin tallied late in the second period. The 22-year-old got a chance to play on the top line at even strength and took advantage of the opportunity. He had gone nine games without a point and was scratched twice in the span. Grebenkin has four goals, 11 points, 26 shots on net, 62 hits and 40 PIM over 39 appearances. It'll likely take time for him to develop a consistent scoring touch.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Two-point effort Tuesday
Grebenkin produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
The 22-year-old winger helped set up a Cam York tally in the second period that proved to be the game-winner, before firing home an empty-netter late in the third. Grebenkin has only two career multi-point performances in 36 NHL games, but they've both come in his last six contests, a stretch in which he's delivered two goals and six points. The hot streak is earning him a more prominent role as well, and he skated on the second power-play unit Tuesday while Matvei Michkov (foot) got the night off.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Two-point effort Monday
Grebenkin produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
The Flyers' new fourth line of Grebenkin, Carl Grundstrom and Rodrigo Abols made a surprising impact, combining for the team's first two goals of the night and five points between them. Grebenkin's tally opened the scoring midway through the second period, and on the season, the 22-year-old winger has two goals and six points in 24 games.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Picks up helper
Grebenkin posted an assist and five hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
Grebenkin has a chance to take on a middle-six role since Tyson Foerster (upper body) will be out for at least two months. The first audition on the third line went well, as Grebenkin helped out on a Bobby Brink tally in the first period, which stood as the game-winner. Grebenkin is four points, seven shots on net, 34 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances. Fantasy managers can wait to see if he proves himself more offense before making a move.

Flyers' Nikita Grebenkin: Gets first NHL goal
Grebenkin scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Canadiens.
Grebenkin tied the game 4-4 in the third when he cut to the middle and scored with a low wrister from the top of the shop. It was his first career NHL goal. It came in his 16th game. Grebenkin is averaging 9:32 in the bottom six. It was a nice night, but his fantasy value remains limited.
