Flyers’ enforcer Riley Cote, does in fact have an injury as suspected and will miss anywhere from 1-2 weeks with a minor oblique tear. Although dressed, Cote saw zero ice time against the Ottawa Senators, which sent signals that Riley, who would play through anything, had an injury. The Flyers acquired former Phantoms’ firecracker Josh Gratton in a trade with Nashville. Many suspected Cote may have been injured and that getting Gratton was an insurance policy while Cote was absent. Cote was an injury scratch against Tampa Bay and Gratton was in his roster spot on the fourth line.
