Emil Andrae recalled by Flyers for home opener due to Cam York's injury, aiming to secure a roster spot.

Emil Andrae has been recalled by the Philadelphia Flyers for their home opener against the Panthers after Cam York's lower-body injury, giving the 2020 second-round pick a chance to secure a roster spot. Coach Rick Tocchet praised Andrae’s puck-moving skills and growth, despite past decision-making issues, and emphasized the team’s need for mobile defensemen. Andrae, 5-foot-9 and 189 pounds, played 42 games last season with one goal and six assists before being sent to Lehigh Valley for experience. Now back in the NHL lineup, he’s focused on playing confidently and earning a permanent role, especially as the Flyers look to balance skill and depth on defense. His opportunity may be temporary if York returns, but strong play could help him stay.
