Ty Murchison is out for the year, per Bob Rotruck

Ty Murchison, a Flyers’ defensive prospect, is out for the rest of the 2025-26 season. He suffered an upper-body injury on January 10, 2026, during a game with the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms at Springfield.

Injury News:
Ty Murchison had surgery on an upper-body injury. He is not expected to return this season.

Murchison was injured on January 10 at Springfield. Really lousy news for the promising, rookie defenseman who had also made his NHL debut with the Flyers in December.

Murchison underwent surgery for the injury, which is tough for the young rookie. This is tough news for the 22-year-old rookie, who made his NHL debut with the Flyers in December 2025. He showed promise during a brief call-up before the injury.

There is a lot of upside to Murchison, as he hopes to take the next step, next season. Get well soon to Murchison—he’s a promising talent with strong skating and physicality.
