Flyers Cut Alex Bump After Michael Bunting Signing

The Philadelphia Flyers have reassigned 22-year-old forward Alex Bump to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the AHL. This roster move follows the team's acquisition of veteran winger Michael Bunting.

Bump struggled to secure a consistent role, recording four shots across three appearances and seeing limited ice time before being scratched for the recent game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The organization opted to send him to the minors to ensure he receives regular playing time alongside teammates like Cole Knuble and Jett Luchanko.

Denver Barkey has been activated from the injury list to fill the vacancy on the NHL roster.
