Denver Barkey Day-to-Day with Lower-Body Injury

Philadelphia Flyers forward Denver Barkey sustained a lower-body injury in a first-period collision during the team's preseason opener against the Capitals. After briefly returning for a shift in the second period, he exited the game. Head coach Rick Tocchet stated Barkey is "day-to-day" and doesn't believe the injury is serious, though no specific return timeline was provided. The 21-year-old center's absence opens up opportunities for other prospects to make their case for a roster spot.
